Very similar to, and not nearly as good as, The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. I liked Cal and Cam, but the plot was weak. Sam was a cute kid, but served virtually no purpose in the plot except to provide an excuse for them to be forced together in the first place. He was there when the plot needed to be, and easily written away when having an 8 year old around wasn't convenient. He was more like an prop than another character. I don't think he had more than 10 lines of dialogue in the entire book. A lot of things in this book only made appearances when it was convenient to the plot, not just Sam. Cam's dead husband, for one. Also Cal's contract renewal. The plot didn't feel natural as result.

I also wasn't a fan on how Cal and Cam's problem at the end was resolved. There was no lead up, no real discussion over why he changed his mind about the baby. He went from being so staunchly against having children he got a vasectomy to being the most thrilled father in existence when he found out Cam didn't lose the baby. I understand that vasectomys aren't 100% effective, and that this was the author's way to get Cal on board with the idea of children, but she should have taken more time with it. It happened too fast, and the resolution was rushed. Cal getting to the hospital should have been the climax of the plot, not the resolution. I feel like I got ripped off by the rushed way she handled it.

Overall, it was a decent read but I'm not sure I would recommend it to someone else.
