Nobody's baby but mine

What it feels like

Reading this book feels like stepping into the golden era of 90s romantic comedies, where the premises are delightfully outrageous and the banter is razor-sharp. The narrative moves at a brisk, energetic clip, propelled by the crackling friction between two fiercely stubborn people who have entirely misjudged each other. Beneath the laugh-out-loud hijinks and the sassy, dialogue-heavy prose lies a surprisingly tender exploration of loneliness, the burden of expectations, and the terrifying vulnerability of letting someone in. It is a warm, swoony, and deeply cozy experience that wraps the reader in a world of found family and hard-won affection. Fans of classic, opposites-attract romances will devour this joyful, chaotic collision of intellect and heart.
