“He pulled away to look at me. “Let’s make this the best time of our lives. Live every day like it’s your last”
I sniffed. “And when one of them is my last?”
“You’re my soul mate. I’ll find you in the next life. Like i found you in this one.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Just that quote in itself should pull you in and think punch my momma in the throat and bite me because when is it my turn!!!
No but really I cannot begin to express how much I loved this book. First Vanessa was fucking hilarious and so inspiring. Adrian was your serious, hard worker till he dies, and loving character. Its giving grumpy x sunshine vibes. 
I annotated the fuck out of this book with so many inspiring quotes & so many romantic instances that made me punch the wall and scream. This was a slow burn read in regards to romance and having duo POV and capturing the moments they fell in love with one another yet are both afraid to fall in love together, just MUAH.
Literally please read it that’s all I will say. You will love the characters and love their journey together.

3.0

trigger/content warnings: sex and nudity, anxiety and panic attacks, terminal illness, OCD and hoarding, drug addiction and relapse, unwanted pregnancy, "abandoned" infant, death of family members, guns and gunshot wound, medical mistreatment

While I liked the romance there are consistently things that imply the author has some really nasty neo liberal opinions that piss me off.

This is a wonderful romance set in the same world as The Friend Zone and Happy Ever After Playlist. Vanessa is a travel vlogger who has unexpectedly taken custody of her newborn niece, but even that isn't as unexpected as her super hot neighbor Adrian showing up to help her out one night when the baby won't stop crying. Their relationship builds really slowly and wonderfully throughout the book.

This does have a HEA, though the book definitely makes you doubt it at times. I do wish the ending had been longer. I would have loved more of the last chapter and epilogue, but it's a wonderful romance that, like all Jimenez's novels, made me laugh and cry.
