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.

I wanted to like this far more than I did. The central misunderstanding could be cleared up by one honest conversation, and the book spends three hundred pages arranging for that conversation not to happen. When the leads are finally in the same room they are lovely together, which only makes the detour more frustrating.
