There were a few things that bothered me about this book. Throughout the first two books in the series and a few chapters in this one, it was a whole thing that Miriam and Alo have pined after one another for 5 years. But in this book there was zero slow burn! It went from 'oh we'll never be together' to 'WHAM BAM snack up shack up'. And the whole 'Iggy is so adorable' doesn't work on me, I'm not a kids person. That's on me, I knew what this book was about. But the biggest issue I had, was that Iggy's mom was pictured as some evil person, just because she didn't want to be a mom. She was pretty clear about that from the start, and she still went through pregnancy to give Alo the child he wanted so much. And then he blames her for not being there as a mom. That was the deal they made when they found out she was pregnant, right? It's unfair to expect her to take up that roll. And Miriam crying about it and reassuring Alo he is somehow the victim in this whole thing, just pissed me off. If I would live in Ever, these two would not be my friends.
