Awk-Weird was so good! A one night stand at a friends wedding turns into an unexpected pregnancy. Tess is completely willing to do everything on her own and I loved her for that (single moms are amazing!). Cole is admittedly shocked but completely willing to help in anyway that Tess will let him. Then one thing leads to another and they end up temporarily living together. Which then leads to feelings and a glimpse at what their forever could be. And of course they both fuck it all up before finding what works for them. Honestly, if you like your romance with a side of comedy and feelings this is the book for you 😉.
One minute this book had me laughing hysterically and the next it was like a black hole had opened in my chest. I had to take a break during a couple of the fights Tess and Cole had, but I honestly really loved these two idiots. They had some mutual pining going on and neither wanted to act on it for fear of change in their otherwise stable lives. And that’s relatable...but change is inevitable. Also? Cole, a professional hockey player, being a stress baker was infinitely hilarious for some reason 😂.
I don’t have much negative to say about this book besides wanting it to be longer. And maybe wanting a little more hockey, since this is a hockey romance after all 😉. I would have loved more time with Tess and Cole just doing things like going to doctors appointments, hockey games and trivia nights. But isn’t that the way most bookworms are?
I’m so glad that I finally got to this book. I’m giving this a solid five stars. It’s hysterical, it’s awkward, and it’s emotional. And I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!
