I never accepted his promise from earlier, but he keeps it anyway. He doesn't let me fall.
This reminded me why I still read YA books from time to time. They usually don't click with me, but this one just hit different. I was not expecting all of the discussions that were had in this little book: from familial love to childhood trauma, I felt that it was all done very well. Not only was I smiling and giggling to myself like a total fool, I also found myself tearing up multiple times because I just loved the dynamic between Jonah and his little sisters. Having two little sisters myself, Jonah's thoughts and fears brought up so many feelings in me; I just loved him as a character. All of the darker moments (please refer to the author's comment on Goodreads for trigger warnings) were beautifully balanced by cute and somewhat cringey scenes like PDA and Jonah acting the clown.
I totally recommend the audiobook, it was really well done - the spanish was gorgeous!

the characters are so complicated and flawed, but they’re also genuine and thoughtful people - jonah and dylan’s backstories had me crying on multiple occasions.
if you love queer fake dating or rivals to lovers , please pick this book up - it’s definitely the best i’ve ever read from this trope!
