** After seeing a pre-release teaser showing [[PinkGirlBlueBoy a pink bootie and a blue bootie]], a number of players have correctly guessed that Jen is [[spoiler:pregnant with twins before Dr. Mariana Castillo's announcement at the end of Book 1]]. This gets further notice when Mariana got distracted by Clint when performing a checkup on Jen, which players see as a possibility that she's missing some crucial details.
** Players have also correctly guessed that [[spoiler:Craig won the mayoral election by rigging it due to his SmugSnake personality and his family's influence in Gracetown]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: For a story about a woman with an unexpected pregnancy, the story puts relatively little focus on said pregnancy, with most of the plot revolving around Jen's attempts to help local businesses succeed and her pregnancy only receiving passing mention here and there. Many readers believe Jen's character arc could have been enhanced through internal conflict between her career ambitions and the unplanned nature of the pregnancy, the ramifications of the latter in society, and how she overcomes them.

* TheScrappy: Mariana, Jen's doctor, is widely disliked for being extremely unprofessional (she practically salivates over Clint while in the process of giving Jen a checkup) and incompetent at her job (she somehow misses the fact that Jen is pregnant with twins).

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Many ''Choices'' players were put off by the premise of a book dealing with pregnancy, either because they found the subject matter unappealing or because ''Choices'' in 2019 had already released a large number of books centering around marriage and babies. Additionally, [=LGBTQ=] players disliked the reveal that the main character becomes pregnant as the result of a sexual encounter with a man (as opposed to being artificially inseminated), which they felt limited their ability to define the main character's sexuality for themselves.
