If you read this while keeping in mind that it’s the same as watching those old classic rom com movies that are so fun and entertaining even tho they’re so problematic at times, you’d enjoy this one otherwise you might not like it much.

Jane is a freakin genius. She just turned 34 and she desperately wants a baby. The problem is that she’s looking for someone “stupid” to balance her genius genes as she had a tough childhood because of how smart she was. So she pretends to be a hooker to trick that “dump” football player into impregnating her.

This is bad! This is just so wrong and bad and problematic as hell. I was angry for so long and I thought I just could never forgive her for what she did! However, if you looked at it from a different POV, you might see it for what it is as a pure fun and entertaining read. The book has a huge cast that I really loved specially the old grandmother. She’s such a fantastic person.

I appreciate how it felt like their is a balance in power when these two fight. Like yes, Jane did a terrible thing but she still refuses to be a pushover. Jane did an unforgivable thing and of course Cal is angry and he’d react. That would make me feel like yeah I feel you, you had the right to be angry. Then I would be like no don’t be angry she’s sorry, then I would remember what she did. And I just felt so dizzy with how conflicted I felt, so I decided to let go of my anger over their situation and just enjoy their fights and banter!
