Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings
4.0
If I'm being honest, I almost didn't finish this book. I went into it expecting a fun adult romance, and was a bit surprised when Lizzie got pregnant. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have been so surprised, because the title pretty much tells you what's going to happen. But I'm not a big fan of the pregnancy trope, and I almost put the book down right then and there. I'm happy I continued reading, though.
Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake was a delight. Lizzie herself is feisty, confident, and proud of her sex life, which was nice to read about. And I loved Rake - their romantic banter with each other was so much fun. The moment Lizzie realizes that she's pregnant was written well, but after that, their relationship moves a little fast. This book has a bit of insta love and I wasn't mad about it. There was good and realistic dialogue, Rake's nickname for Lizzie is so cute, and I loved how well they worked with each other. Lizzie teaches Rake to let loose a little, and Rake loves Lizzie unconditionally for who she is. They had a good dynamic. From what I can tell, the ADHD rep in this book was also well done, and it plays a large role in the story and Lizzie's life. I'm also forever a fan of reading about familial relationships, so I liked the subplot of Lizzie and her brother trying to become closer.
I will say that the story is a bit unbelievable at first. It moved a bit fast, but that might just be me not being able to imagine myself in that situation and falling in love that quickly. But it worked for the story, and I still really enjoyed reading about them trying to work together. They're a good couple, and this was a fun read. I'm excited to check out the author's other works!
