Josh And Gemma Make a Baby | Sarah Ready

Rating - 5 /5 ★★★★★

The Book Blurb

My Review

I had no idea what I was about to discover when I started reading this book, and it stunned me with its simplicity. When you read romance books, you expect drama. Then there are romantic comedy books, which embrace the drama and make you laugh so hard that you forget when you start crying. That is exactly how I feel after reading this book.

Gemma finds a way to make herself happy by having a baby through IVF. And Josh is the one who can help her by becoming her ideal donor. But she has to remind herself that he is nothing more than her donor. When the image Gemma makes of Josh starts to shatter. There is a change for feelings to attach that is the last thing she wants in a business-like relationship. And in all of this, Gemma only wants a family, feelings of care, and love, but she is not sure who to ask and where to find them.

The first part of the novel is laced with humor and attraction, while the second half is rich with pull emotions and sweet romance. I enjoy slow-burning romance, and it offers all of that, with the added bonus of longing. I am highly impressed by the author's writing about the struggle of IVF and society's mentality of infertile women. I'm a quote girl, and every chapter begins with words that are too simple and casual to mingle with the narrative and come back and forth yet don't overwhelm me.

Gemma's point of view is conveying, yet I feel like I know Josh more than I know her. Josh comes as a delightful surprise, too unique and entirely different from my imagination. I love him and every moment that I have in this book. Gemma had suffered at an early age because of her marriage. Gemma's reactions and reasoning were ruled by her insecurities which felt natural, grounded, as well as the impact of her past. And I really, really love Brook, Carly, and Hannah. If they're going to have their own books in the future, I am up for it.

Josh And Gemma Make a Baby was my debut read by Sarah Ready. I will undoubtedly read every book she writes now. As much as I enjoyed this book, there were a few aspects I didn't like. Gemma's mother's behavior, for one, and not only her. I believe her entire family is responsible for her situation, directly or indirectly, and far too easily forgive in only one day. Otherwise, the ending was excellent with a HEA, and the characters' flaws remained. Despite the lack of intimate scenes, this novel manages to create an intense, tension-filled, and passionate romantic chemistry.

This book makes you feel every emotion in the corner of your heart, touches you and makes you happy, soul satisfied with her softness of humor and romance. I recommend you to read this enthralling novel.

Recommendation

• This book is for you if you appreciate romantic comedies.
• Go ahead and read it if you enjoy strong female heroines.
• Only adult readers should read this.
• If you enjoy reading romance novels with unique and diverse issues, this is an excellent choice.

People choose how to react to situations. No one can make you angry, uncomfortable, or unhappy without your permission. 

The beauty of it is that no one notices you, the tragedy of it is that no one notices you. 

A friend is someone who accepts your past, loves you in the present, and believes in your future. 

The true value of things aren’t based on what they look like, but what they have inside. 

The surest way to be seen as beautiful is to make someone else laugh, make someone else smile, then no matter what you look like, you’ll always be beautiful. 

When you realize you love someone and that you want to spend the rest of forever with them, you want forever to start right now.
