⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maggie and Jack
He always knew his life would change. He just never thought she would be the reason.
This is the first time I’ve tried Jolie Dunn. And, Faking the Shot was a wonderful read! I have never read a book that includes Polo. But I’m glad I picked this as my first one. Jolie did a seamless job of weaving the intricacies of the sport with the storyline. Beyond that, her characters felt real.
Maggie and Jack are friends from childhood, so it is no surprise that benefits would eventually follow. And, Maggie’s surprise pregnancy isn’t a surprise either because friends with benefits usually aren’t foolproof. What is a beautiful surprise is the journey that both Maggie and Jack take to find their happiness together.
The fear, the uncertainty in their futures, the brave way these two come together, devoting themselves to a fresh start and a commitment to be the best parents despite their childhood examples, is at first commendable. Their initial obligation to their baby, of course, is not necessarily to each other, yet though Jack is careful with Maggie, making sure that she and the baby have what they need.
Once Jack and Maggie got their footing, I enjoyed seeing them grow into each other as well as discovering the best parts of themselves. At times, it was wrenching as they separately experienced the fear and panic of not only becoming parents, but coming to the realization that they are not their parents, and that they truly do love and trust one another.
