Ready or Not by Cara Bastone
Caden’s Review: This book is easily my favourite read of 2024 and Cara Bastone has now become an instant new beloved author of mine with this 2024 romance. This book has two of my least favourite tropes, yet easily jumped to my favourite book of the year because of the perfect pairing of humor, heart and steaminess. If you love books that will make you laugh and cry and feel grounded and beautifully honest, then this is a romance book for you!
Synopsis:
Eve Hatch has always been content to coast through her life, with a steady, if uninspiring, job and a cozy apartment in Brooklyn, close to her childhood best friend Willa and far from the midwestern, traditional family who never really understood her.
But when she finds herself pregnant after an uncharacteristic one-night stand, her comfy life is suddenly up in the air. Eve's loyal friendship with Willa is feeling tense, right when she needs her the most, and it's actually Willa's steadfast big brother, Shep, who steps up with the most support and he's .. . suddenly kinda hot? As if she needs one more complication, there's also the baby's father, who is technically supportive, but majorly conflicted.
But as Eve struggles to figure out the next step in her expanding reality, she begins to realize that family and love, in all forms, can sneak up on you when you least expect it.
