Bear's Midlife Baby

It’s refreshing to see a romance where the main character isn’t a young adult, but I wonder what led to that decision and how it shaped the story’s themes.

The book managed to be lighthearted while touching on serious themes like self-acceptance. I’d love to hear if others felt the same or if it felt uneven at times.

The story moved smoothly, but I’m curious whether the pacing was planned to keep both aspects equally engaging or if it evolved during writing.
