The Best Worst Thing is a contemporary romance about Nicole Speyer, a woman who seems to have it all—a beautiful home, a solid marriage, and a moderately successful fertility podcast—except the one thing she wants most: a baby. After a last‑chance embryo transfer to her gestational carrier, Nicole discovers her husband has been cheating, and the life she’s built implodes, sending her—heartbroken and half in shock—to the doorstep of Logan Milgram, a former colleague who has quietly loved her for years. As a tentative, “this was never the plan” connection with Logan deepens into something real, Nicole is forced to confront her grief, her complicated relationship with her own body, and the future she thought she’d already written, especially when unexpected news about the pregnancy forces her to decide what starting over—and letting herself be loved—will truly look like.

Jamie’s review

Wowwww consider my obsessed. I can't believe how good this was. My face the entire time was like 🥹🥰☺️🤭 FUNNY, spicy, heart wrenching, adorable, angry, all the feels. One of the best romance books I've read in awhile!

I think the friends to lovers trope is one of my favorites because of books like this. It's so fun to already know each other so well before the romance starts. The banter is even better because they can give each other so much shit!

Definitely check your trigger warnings though, there are some very real, very heavy topics in here, specifically around infertility.
