A contemporary romance that tackles difficult topics, The Best Worst Thing is about Nicole, who has a seemingly perfect life. A handsome, successful husband, a popular podcast about their fertility journey, and endless resources to invest into IVF and surrogacy. She tells herself that she doesn’t miss her career and her former coworkers, like her work bestie Logan. But when she walks in on her husband with another woman, her world crumbles.

Supportive friends
At times I was not on board with Nicole’s choices, I liked that the book handled infidelity in a mature way with lots of different viewpoints – what should Nicole do? She is in a difficult situation and her choice is not as easy as it may seem. Logan is fully in love with her, and he is one of those “book boyfriends” who completely ruins the real world male population for you.
She loves reading and he actually reads her favorite books. Only my mom does that! Boys would never! But Logan does. The epilogue is very sweet and endearing.
Great for fans of Elissa Sussman and Abby Jimenez
