THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"A hilarious, tender, and altogether life-affirming gem of a book." --Emily Henry, bestselling author of Beach Read

A brilliant and touching romantic comedy about two polar opposites, one adorable dog, and living every day to its fullest.

When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted.

But after her half sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby daughter, life goes from "daily adventure" to "next-level bad" (now with bonus baby vomit in hair). The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua.

Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see. Minnesota Book Awards winnerBookRiot, Top Books of 2021Goodreads, Best of 2021 Romance FinalistShe Reads, Best of 2021 Romance Winner

  • Why is this book a bestseller?

    I found this book to be vapid. Maybe I went in expecting too much. It was suggested to me after reading Sally Rooney and now I can’t understand why. Rooneys books are deep and insightful and her characters speak to eternal questions we’ve been facing. This on the other hand are as light as they come.
  • Fun rom com!

    What a great book! Vanessa is a free spirited travel blogger watching her sister’s infant baby Grace while Adrian is a strait laced controlled lawyer. After a hellish night of the baby crying uncontrollably, Adrian helps Vanessa and sparks instantly fly. They develop a friendship, based on the fact Vanessa says she doesn’t date (thinking she will develop ALS). But of course, feelings develop. Loved the back and forth showing their feelings while “thinking” the other doesn’t reciprocate those feelings. Loved the talk of medical chronic illnesses and how to affects not only the life of the person with it, but everyone around them. Overall loved 4.5/5⭐️

    I laughed out loud and cried enough to have to ice my eyes before heading into work. Such a very worth while way to spend my time.

    I rarely read romance novels anymore. They are all too predictable and never keep my attention. Not this one. I laughed and cried both sad and happy tears. Perfect.
