Raising Love Chapter 18: “I Caught Feelings For You, Ivy”

Raising Love has quickly become one of my favorite friends-to-lovers stories in my catalog.

At the core, it’s about what happens when two people who never pictured raising a family—especially not together—become guardians overnight and slowly build a home, a rhythm, and a love neither of them saw coming.

By Chapter Eighteen, everything we’ve seen Ivy and Leo struggle with—the loss of their friends, the confusion over their relationship, the baby in the middle of it all—shifts into something solid. Something beautiful. This chapter gave us a soft but powerful resolution we didn’t know was possible back when they first stepped foot in Greene Gardens.

And Leo’s softer side? It steals the scene.
