I read this book in one. sitting. It is currently 4:51am. I have tears running down my face. 5 STARS ARE YOU ACTUALLY KIDDING ME. At first when I was reading I thought I would dock some points for the specific pop culture references that will age the book in a couple years but you know what- I don't even care! That was such a beautiful story about love, trust, grief, anxiety, second chances, and hope. I was invested the entire time, this book almost had emily henry level banter, genuinely funny moments that made me crack up out loud, and just heart wrenchingly romantic scenes- the grip miss abby had on my heart my god. If anyone is reading this review please I'm begging, read this book so we can talk about it!!! HELP ME OKAY BYE IT IS 4:57AM NOW WHOOPS

3.75

This was my first time reading a book by Abby Jimenez, and I started off really really liking the book. I appreciated the character depth and dynamic Jimenez took time to create. I have a big soft spot for anxious male characters and so I really liked Jacob and his viewpoint. I did struggle with the last ~15-18% of the book. For me, it took away from some of what was built up until that point, and made the book feel somewhat scattered and frustrating. The beginning was a 4.5 and the ending was a 3, so I settled on a 3.75 overall. I will be picking up another book by Jimenez to try!
