Good bless America! This was so cute!! It was so sweet, soft, and just wholesome. This was such a sweet chill romance filled with cute banter and heartwarming moments. A hero who radiates stay away vibes, a strong heroine with a soft heart, and a four years old daughter who owned my heart. speaking of elijah… that man is fine! he's grumpy, tattooed, and owns a tattoo shop. what more could you possibly ask for?From there we see Elijah intrigued by Hadley, and overtime we come to see him truly care about Hadley, her kids, and her family. We see Elijah put in the effort to not only get to know Hadley, but her kids as well. Elijah romances Hadley, but he also makes it clear just how much Hadley's kids mean to him as well.

Blinking rapidly, I wiped my eyes and tried to laugh but it caught in my throat. “Sorry, this is probably a lot more than you expected when you wanted to befriend us.” And OMG Elijah! He was so........perfect. Arrogant, rude but have a heart of gold. God I love his rants and weird obsessions. And that fight with Lucy and him cradling Eli........ovaries exploded!!! and honestly kudos to author Michelle Gross for making ONE PERCENT OF YOU a slow-burn enemies-to-friends-to-lovers in the first place. More often than not, this particular trope (single mom // dad) will just. . . not have a slow-burn romance, and. . . I don't get it. This genre is rife with potential for a deliciously epic UST slow-burn romance. Thankfully, MICHELLE GROSS took advantage and crafted a wonderful romance that slowly but surely wormed its way into my heart. Turns out, Judgmental Guy isn’t too mean — okay, he kind of still is. But he graduates to Elijah. I build an unlikely friendship with him which deems it necessary for him to start smiling around me and my kids.

Enter Elijah (30). He has of the most touching, and beautiful character arcs I've read in a very long time. He dislikes children, he avoids one-night-stands, heavily tattooed, and the owner of two tattoo parlors. Besides his family members, everyone else seems to jokingly refer to him as a "asshole" and he admits it. He has very little time for BS. The heroine was busting her ass off, studying, working, taking care of everything, raising a little girl with her useless, pathetic and lame partner, only to find him cheating on her with her cousin! And she was just pregnant with the second child!! 🙄🙄 Elijah is? perfect??? HE IS A MAN. He is so dreamy and wonderful and I hope my future hubby is like him. Deep down, instead of princes, I thought maybe every woman wanted gentle monsters. Someone strong—scary e ohhh to keep all the bad things away—and gentle only to those he loved.”

Make no mistakes about it. I know what I look like to others. Young, government-aided, pregnant mom. They see Lucy on my hip, and they see a mistake. I mean, why else would someone have a child so young, right? They couldn’t be more wrong. I’m too busy most days between parenting, work, and finishing up my last year of nursing school to let their judging gaze tear me down until he moves in the vacant house next to the apartments I live in. His cold, blunt observation of us doesn’t differ from any other stranger. He doesn’t know me, but he’s already painting a picture of who he thinks I am in his mind. He judges my very round belly, Lucy’s inability to leave him alone, the bags under my eyes, and the fact that I could not care less what I look like anymore. He’s a rude guy. Stays that way for months too. Then something happens, I’m not even sure what. Judgmental Guy decides Lucy and me — as well as baby Eli — are worth his friendship. Turns out, Judgmental Guy isn’t too mean — okay, he kind of still is. But he graduates to Elijah. I build an unlikely friendship with him which deems it necessary for him to start smiling around me and my kids. I’m wrong again. Elijah isn’t rude. He’s terrifying. His strange acts of kindness are unraveling me. Elijah is only my friend. Right? Oh, fudge. I think I’m wrong. Again. One Percent of You by Michelle Gross – eBook Details They have me. Whatever I can be, I’ll be for those two. I love all your pieces, especially the ones that call you mom. I hope one day they’ll come to me instead of just you when they need something because I’ll be here.” Well, I wanted more. I wanted to come home to them one day. I wanted to be always there Elijah… Never leaving Elijah… Husband Elijah… Stepdad Elijah… Forever Elijah…”I LOVED BOTH SETS OF GRANDPARENTS! Both families were so supportive and it made my heart feel full to see them all happy together It’s okay if you’re only 99% a mother, at least save 1% for yourself. I’ll still hang out with all percentages of you.” I don't know why but I think this story being a bit similar to mine had me loving this even more. I seem to just can't stop comparing this story with mine. The only thing that changes is that I'm not a single mom but a half-momma and half-auntie to my two adopted nieces (who reminded me a lot about Lucy and Eli). This book was so adorable! It was exactly the swoon-worthy and feel good romance I've been needing lately.
