"Kristen's happy ending was never about getting pregnant. It was about her allowing herself to be loved, despite what she felt were shortcomings. It was about her recognizing that she wasn't defined by her ability to have children, and that her worth went beyond the state of her uterus. That was her happily ever after.
“You and I might just be the perfect best man–maid of honor match ever.”Things have a rough start for them, but they actually end up becoming super close friends. You know when you meet someone and putting romantic feelings aside, they just become your person. That is the relationship they have. Of course, they are insanely attracted to each other, but they are friends first and I love that. Though it seems friends is all they’ll ever be… Josh broke up with his last girlfriend because she didn’t want children. He’s from a big family and he wants nothing more than to have a ton of little ones running around. Kristen would love that too, but it’s not in the cards for her. And she loves Josh too much to hold him back.
I’d found my person. She was the foundation. She was the thing that all other things are built on. Everything was secondary to being with her.
- constantly labelling other female characters as ‘crazy’ or ‘exhausting’ to make the MC seem ‘cool’ and ‘perfect’
- the unnecessarily unfair and unjust way the guy characters are treated - they all deserved better
- certain events added for shock value only and nothing else
- the fact that josh was friendzoned for maybe like a whole 10 minutes, so i consider the title false advertising
- and finally, the insensitive way infertility is handled at the end (the authors note really made me mad)
