A surprise pregnancy leads to even more life-changing revelations in this heartfelt, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance of found family and unexpected love.
Eve Hatch lives for surprises! Just kidding. She expects every tomorrow to be pretty much the same as today. She loves her cozy apartment in Brooklyn that’s close to her childhood best friend Willa, and far from her midwestern, traditional family who has never really understood her. While her job is only dream-adjacent, it’s comfortable and steady. She knows what to expect from life . . . until she finds herself "expecting” after an uncharacteristic one-night stand.
Now Eve’s loyal friendship with Willa is feeling tense, and it’s actually Willa’s steadfast older brother, Shep, who steps up to help. He's always been friendly, but now he’s ordering her surprise lunches, listening to all her complaints, and is . . . suddenly kinda hot? Then there’s the baby’s father, who is (technically) supportive but (majorly) conflicted.
Maybe it’s the hormones, maybe it’s the way Shep’s shoulders look in a T-shirt—but Eve starts to wonder if she's been secretly desiring more from every aspect of her life.
Over the course of nine months, as Eve struggles to figure out the next right step in her expanding reality, she learns that family and love, in all forms, can sneak up on you when you least expect it.
