Oh god...j'ai trouvé ce livre si fâchant. L'histoire tourne principalement autour d'un manque de communication entre les deux personnages principaux et se termine par une tragédie...j'ai beaucoup plus apprécié le deuxième livre de la série. Tout au long du roman je ne me répétais qu'une chose : mais parlez vous bon sang! Bref à éviter si la trope de la «miscommunication» vous irrite.

Once again, Abby Jimenez has written a book that I couldn’t put down. I’m in love with the characters of this book, especially Stuntman Mike, and their lives that are not Hallmark-perfect. As someone who had terrible periods and had a hysterectomy when I was 30, I can feel Kristen’s pain and how hard it is to go through such a thing. But having a partner who loves you unconditionally and can help you get through those insecurities is imperative.
