This was amazing. Loved the mentions of Alexis & Daniel, the representation of kidney disease, anxiety, and trauma. The sexual tension and creative plot made this an exceptional romance. The themes of family, mental health, and medical settings were some of my favorite. Every character but especially Briana and Jacob were so real, felt like I was in this book, living this book while reading it. The reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5, is because of the extremely frustrating miscommunication trope. I do think that Jimenez did it well in this book and I think you're supposed to be frustrated, but still doesn't mean I like the trope. Also I did not love one aspect of the ending. But won't mention it for spoiler purposes.

4.5

it’s an Abby Jimenez book. there’s not a lot to explain about my rating but so much to say. a great book about a romance that spurs out of writing letters to one another. has a great representation of anxiety within it.
I resonated with Briana’s commitment and trust issues a lot. She was a truly real character with such relatable problems. And Jacob’s anxiety made me feel seen.

Sou fã de romances, daqueles com muitos clichés, dos mais diversos tipos de tropes românticos, mas ainda assim, até 80% do livro, era um 4,5 estrelas. Achei que era muita discussão e desencontros que culminariam num final esperado e ponto. A escrita deste livro é mais refinada que o anterior, então achei que meia estrela mais era o justo. Porém, os 20% finais, incluindo a nota da autora, me fez entender porque as amigas gostaram tanto e exaltaram, panfletando incessantemente (amigas, nunca duvidei de vocês). Definitivamente a forma como a autora abordou tanto, foi de me deixar jogada. Apenas leiam (e vejam gatilhos no StoryGraph para assuntos sensíveis).

This book was SO good and sweet but the not communicating with each other part really pissed me off. the ending felt a little rushed but still 5⭐️ because i felt all the feels
