Cute and very meta romance book. Successful author has a fling with an actor? He falls in love with the kids first? There’s a shitty ex involved? These are all drama points that sucked me in and I wanted to see if it was going to end predictably or not. It’s worth the read!
Content Warnings

I enjoy the single mom, writer's life perspective and the self-referential meta-Hallmark-movie-ness of it all but I was expecting a little more depth to that aspect. Something a little more subversive. There are a couple of tropes here I don't enjoy and pacing that didn't quite work for me. An enjoyable, fast, meta-Hallmark-movie read with a few amusing and relatable lines and scenes.
