Josh and Gemma Make a Baby - ARC Review

Shout out to NetGalley for my free eARC in exchange for my honest opinions. All opinions belong to me.

Josh and Gemma Make a Baby

by: Sarah Ready


My Rating: 4.25 Stars/Would Recommend

Released: January 25, 2022
Genre: Romance (Trope: Friends to Lovers)



This was a super cute story about main character, Gemma, and her quest to have a baby - even if that means doing it alone! When he asks family friend, Josh, to be a donor to help her get pregnant, she is stunned when he actually says yes. Through her deepening friendship with Josh and her new friendships with other women in the support group she's joined, Gemma learns so much about having a baby, loving herself, and loving others. There was awesome character development throughout this novel. It was definitely relatable and it handled sensitive topics, such as infertility and child loss, very gently to try to avoid being triggering. Y'all, I don't know if it was my pregnancy hormones or not, but I for sure cried (happy tears) at this book!

Content Warnings: infertility, miscarriage, IVF, child loss
