Synopsis

Life's Too Short meets The Unhoneymooners in this sparkling, steamy, and swoon-worthy novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, in which two sworn enemies must share house, home—and maybe their hearts—when they become co-parents after a sudden loss.

Colby's living her best life: as a popular food blogger, she gets to fulfill her dreams of exploring the globe. But her world comes crashing down when a tragic accident leaves her co-guardian of her best friend's two adorable children. Not only does she need to put down roots—fast—but she'll be sharing custody with the one man she can't stand sharing a continent with, let alone a house.  

Accountant-extraordinaire Rip values rules and plans. But when he loses his sister and his best friend and becomes an insta-guardian all in one night, Rip sees his organized life imploding. What he really doesn't need is his sister's irresponsible, flighty—albeit kind and gorgeous—best friend making it worse.

Rip doesn't trust Colby to take their new responsibilities seriously, while Colby can't believe Rip thinks children will thrive under his rigid control. Yet soon Rip and Colby discover they need each other more than they hate each other. Could it be possible that following their hearts is just what their new little family needs?

Buckle up, cuz I have THOUGHTS. After seeing this all over my TikTok feed, I was super excited to start this. Unfortunately, it just really did not work for me. If you have ever seen Life As We Know It on Netflix, the plot is literally exactly the same, and the movie did it better. I'll try to keep......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on July 21, 2022

I absolutely DEVOURED this opposites attract, forced proximity, dual POV romantic comedy between two godparents dealing with the aftermath of a tragedy and finding themselves responsible for caring for their best friends' small children.

Goodreads review by Bookgasms on June 08, 2022

I enjoy Rachel Van Dyken's stories and saw the Godparent Trap as a fun take on the Katherine Heigl movie Life As We Know It.
