Social media strategist Lauren Wallace plans everything. But when she returns to the charming—if not too small for comfort—town of Seaside Cove, it’s only about a second before her tough-love Grams is already on her case. So when Grams tells her not to go to that bar, Lauren decides it’s time for a temporary rebellion. Which is exactly when the trouble starts.
Grams was right. The bar was not a good plan. Because suddenly super-cute bar owner Ethan McAllister has gone from being Lauren’s (kind of) high school nemesis to a very unexpected one-night stand. And worse, Lauren’s attempts to resume her ultra-responsible life keep getting thwarted by more unwelcome spontaneity. And a pregnancy.
Now there’s a baby on the way, Lauren’s the talk of the entire town, and all her planning has gone right out the window. All that’s missing is childbirth to make her pain complete. But it’ll be nothing compared to Grams’s reaction when she finds out that Lauren broke the biggest rule of all…falling for the wrong guy.

My Review
Lauren arranged with her other sister, Brooke to go-back to her Gram’s house to help her youngest Gabby to get her life back on track. She have a love hate relationship with her grandmother and to be back home took a lot of courage to do. When she reached, she already started to argued with her grandma and when she told her she wanted to go out to find food, her grandmother told her NOT to go to the local pub. Being her rebellious self, she found herself at the pub and encounter her frenemy Ethan who is the owner of the pub. After a night of drinking, she found herself in Ethan’s bed and thereafter, she found herself pregnant.
This book have few subplots which showed who Lauren’s true self to the reader and showed how different she is with Ethan. She basically live according to the bullet point in her planner whilst Ethan is an impulsive type of person. Am glad that they find the best balance for them in the end. Overall it is a good read to me.
