There were parts of Josh and Gemma Make a Baby that I loved and parts that I hated. But all in all this had my heart full by the time I finished!

A romcom that features IVF as a main part of the story? Sign me up! This is such a unique idea for a romcom but it worked so well! I grew to really care for the characters and loved going on this journey with them. Brother's best friend is also a favorite trope of mine so I had a feeling this book would be a hit for me and it definitely was!

Rom-coms can be a hit or a miss for me but this one was definitely a win. It was the perfect escape on a rainy weekend. It made me laugh out loud and it was hard not to fall in love with Gemma. This was my first read by this author but it definitely won't be my last.

Gemma is such a fun character who takes us through her becoming a mother through sperm donation and IVF. The sperm donor ia her brothers beat friend and before she knows it feelings are sparking and things are moving forward. I truly enjoyed this story!

I wanted to like this book but I felt it was hard to get through.I was slightly bored and felt myself checking out and forgetting what was happening in the storyline. I wanted to like it, but it was a solid 2 star romance.

This loved this book so much. It goes through the struggles of miscarriage's and IVF treatment, the ups and downs that come along with it. The happy moments, the sad moments, I loved following Josh and Gemma through their journey, I loved it all. i would highly reccomend this everyone.

This is a rom-com with a new trope as the female lead wants to have a baby through the IVF method and the donor is his brother's best friend.

I don0t usually find romance entertaining, I need a little bit of smut or comedy for me to finally enjoy a romance story, but even though this one doesn't have too much of any of those, I ended up enjoying it for the most part.
I disliked Gemma, our main character 90% of the time, but apart from that, the novel was quite entertaining.
Also, I liked how the author treated the infertility of the main protagonist. You don't usually see stories like that.

I don't often love romance books. I'm always more likely to give a romance book three stars or less, but I keep reading them because sometimes I come across something like Sarah Ready's 'Josh and Gemma Make a Baby'

I loved this book from start to finish. I loved the relationship between Josh and Gemma. I loved the emotions and the flaws of the characters. I loved that the romance. I loved the group of friends she found.

I just throughly enjoyed the entire book and I'm super excited the read the sequel.

When I requested it I thought it would be a funny book that maybe would represent us that struggle with infertility. But I forgot about this book until now when I decided to go read reviews on it and the things that I read were horrible so I wont be reading it. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I just couldn’t get through this book at all. I’m not sure if it was the writing style or the plot or something else, but I didn’t make it very far. Maybe I could find another book by the author I would like more, but this one just wasn’t for me.

Josh and Gemma make a baby! What a doozy this one was. I totally felt for Gemma and so glad she found her happy ending! This was a super cute read!

Looking forward to reading the next one. I really enjoyed this book, the characters were well written and the plot had some laugh out loud moments. Glad I read it.

I was excited for this book, but I was let down by the writing and some issues with the characterization, or should I say how the book tells a character. Apart from Gemma being so annoying, I noticed a lot of stereotypes in this book, which was enough to make me DNF it.

This was definitely a read that I enjoyed thoroughly! The characters had such development that really brought you in to see who they really are. With their quirks and mannerisms it was hard not to see them as real people and think you are just seeing everything as their friend from a single point of view.

Sarah Ready is one of my absolute favorite authors and I am so glad I got the opportunity to listen and read to this beauty. This was one of the books that played like a movie in my head as I read it, and listened. This was a tandem read with audio and e-book, and the audio was phenomenal. I really liked the narrator and what she had to author.

I honestly don't think that I could have loved this book more! I am so beyond excited to be able to continue with this story line in the upcoming release!

I absolutely loved this book! Sometimes all you need for a little pick-me-up is a chick lit read, and this hit the spot perfectly. The premise was great (two people having a baby together for the sole intention of having a baby, sans romance), and Sarah Ready delivered it well. The main protagonists were both very likeable, and the way the story was written made me feel very invested in the outcome. I'll definitely be looking out for more books by Ready in future.

I absolutely enjoyed this rom-com. I was captivated immediately and couldn’t put it down. It was funny, and, at times, heartbreaking. Gemma was flawed yet relatable and Josh had me swooning. I adored the quotes and illustrations throughout and felt that the storyline was unique and refreshing.

Thank you to NetGalley and Swift & Lewis Publishing for my review copy.

This was the first romance that I’ve read after a long term break. Why? I don’t know. I’ve been reading so many romances that they seemed the same after a while so I laid back on the genre even though it’s one of my favorites. But then I read the synopsis for this story and it checked almost all my perfect romance boxes and there we go.

Even though this might’ve classified as friends to lovers, I don’t think it really truly is. While that’s one of my most favorite romance tropes-and one of the reasons why I picked up this book- Josh and Gemma weren’t friends to begin with. There were more acquaintances through their families. Josh and his dad have always been around for Gemma’s family, and except for a little fling back when they were teenagers, Josh became only Gemma’s brother’s best friend for years. They haven’t kept in touch enough to warrant for this to be a friends to lovers story.

The story is really cute, that’s for sure. It’s also funny. There were some parts where it made me laugh out loud. Also, there were some emotional stuff going on too, that may or may not have made me cry. The romance was cute, some scenes between the hero and the heroine sexy, some I couldn’t decide what to feel for. It was easy to figure out some of the things in the story, so easy in fact, I doubt the author meant for them to be a twist in the end but who knows. But in the end, this was an easily read, cute romance between two people who decide to have a baby first, and fall in love later.

Tropes - romcom, Brother best friend, planned baby?/IVF

This was a really cute romcom that I read very quickly. There were lots of laugh out loud moments that I loved, there is loads of banter and cute cheesy moments.

This was okay, i never really felt the romance angle from Josh but he seem like a nice guy. Just seemed to happen a bit slow then super fast.
