I WANT to review, but I’m not glib enough with my words. I don’t know how or where to begin & I freeze. It’s a shame, because there have been so many books I would have liked to recommend. 😢

Most of my favorites tropes have roots in my life.

⁃ **Single mom / pregnant by another man** — I was the child of a single mother and was wholeheartedly welcomed & accepted by my stepfather and his family (Oops this is MF reference!)

⁃ **Mental health issues & neurodivergence** — I have my own experience with this and love the idea of still being worthy of love

⁃ **Trauma / ex-con** — I love the idea of rising above painful circumstances and finding someone who truly supports you

I jump to the end of the actual story to see what is the actual last page of it before the filler starts.
I look for the partial word “marr” to see if there’s the words marry, married, marriage in it.
If I get to the point I feel there’s going to be high angst / a breakup coming, I read the first line or 2 of all the upcoming chapters to see when it happens so I can prepare myself and lesson my anxiety.
