This is one of the few books I can think of where it would have ended just as beautifully if it didn't have a happily ever after. Sure, it wouldn't be considered a romance technically at that point, but it would still be a beautiful story.

I repeat I love it when romance books tackle deep subjects while also falling for someone. It feels realistic and messy and truthful. I came into this book not knowing anything about the plot and never reading an Abby Jimenez book - but I will now be going back to read the others because wow I loved this one!
Vanessa is such a cool character and I loved her relationship with Adrian. Adrian also sounds so perfect in so many ways I still don't believe men like this exist! The end of the book had me guessing what was going to happen until the very end which I appreciated. It was just such a lovely, hopeful read about living your life to the fullest every day which after the past two years we've experienced I want more life.

Synopsis: Vanessa, a famous YouTuber who travels to live her best life before she dies due to ALS, meets her neighbor one night at 3am when he tries to convince her to get her baby to shut up. Seeing the terrible state she’s in because of the baby, he offers to help and they quickly fall for each other but hold back from dating. For him it’s because she doesn’t date and for her it’s because she doesn’t believe she’ll live long enough.
This book deals with a lot of heavy topics with her sisters drug addiction and other family issues but it’s handled well and is dispersed in with the fluff and romantic/happier moments.
