Before I begin:
Cohabitation is going to be fun 👏🏽 Upon my initial read through the synopsis, sounds fun 👍🏽 but not entirely new. Part of the fun in participating in book clubs is the discussion 😁
Chapter 5
Check in at the beginning of Chapter 6 instead 😂 I feel for Olivia 🥲 She lost her husband and gaurdianship for her son was given to a stranger. The annimosity between Jack and Olivia is believable, intense, and fun 😂 Both Olivia and Jack find each other attractive, so Im just waiting for the moment they get together 😍 Looking forward to more Henry-Jack interactions 👏🏽 This seems promising! Love widow romances with a child 😍😍😍
Chapter 10
The reason I love widow romances is that when a bond forms between the interest and the kid 😍 That’s fun to read! 😂 I’m glad Olivia is starting to see it too!
Chapter 14
Understand Olivia’s opinion about henry getting a dog 🐶 They are cute 😍 but take work.
First kiss 😘 finally happens 😂 Caregiving scenes with a twist 👏🏽 Olivia 😍 more after seeing Jack with Henry.
Like that, me being ahead is no longer true 😂🤦🏼♀️
Chapter 18
Olivia grows more and more attracted to Jack 😏 Zolivia not in mourning clothes was a sign Olivia was becoming more and more ready 😂 Other stuff happened but this was the most prevalent. Excited for tomorrow’s chapters 👏🏽 I think we’ll start to get answers to our many questions
Kisses become more common between Jack & Olivia (did I miss it until now?)
Jack with Henry still ♥️ then we find out how he is with orphans?! ♥️♥️♥️ Got to admire I enjoy seeing that (and so does Olivia 😏)
Chapter 19 + epilogue
Olivia, Jack, and Henry are their own family ❤️ and it’s beginning to feel that way (Olivia sees it! 👏🏽) With her concern with appearrances, she’s the one to convince 🤔 i feel Olivia’s approval and consent is important to the story, but Jack drives the story. Sound right?!
Jack’s parentage reveal… I still don’t know 🤷🏽♀️ about it 🤔 Like I didn’t see it coming, and was dark like another whole book can explore that but would I read that? 🤷🏽♀️
The wedding scene was quick and didn’t feel too important (but I loved loved it 😁)
Epilogue
Epilogue was all Jack and was satisfying, but shouldn’t Olivia be in it too? In that sense, deviated from the norm 🤷🏽♀️ I dig that usually. I have no qualms so I’m okay with it.
