Oh god...j'ai trouvé ce livre si fâchant. L'histoire tourne principalement autour d'un manque de communication entre les deux personnages principaux et se termine par une tragédie...j'ai beaucoup plus apprécié le deuxième livre de la série. Tout au long du roman je ne me répétais qu'une chose : mais parlez vous bon sang! Bref à éviter si la trope de la «miscommunication» vous irrite.

Once again, Abby Jimenez has written a book that I couldn’t put down. I’m in love with the characters of this book, especially Stuntman Mike, and their lives that are not Hallmark-perfect. As someone who had terrible periods and had a hysterectomy when I was 30, I can feel Kristen’s pain and how hard it is to go through such a thing. But having a partner who loves you unconditionally and can help you get through those insecurities is imperative.

I do not even know where to begin with this book. What a truly beautiful story about so many different forms of love. Love for someone you’re in love with,  love for yourself, love for a best friend, and brotherly and sisterly love. This book had me sobbing many times by the end because of how wonderfully each of these loves was described and seeing how beautiful and powerful love for another can be. This book highlights the strength in putting others before yourself but also really emphasizes the love you must give yourself by putting yourself first. It’s a reminder of how truly short life could be and to tell the ones you love that you love them frequently.  Abby takes such time and care to writing such sensitive topics. I am able to feel the emotions of what every character is going through. I have adored everything that I have read by Abby Jimenez to date  and I cannot wait to continue reading her other books.

It's a nice book. And I understand the feelings os female lead but sometimes I think she was just so cruel to ml that I was honestly want to drop of reading this book. And also I wish that the side character the female best friend at the end of the book become like a nothing to the author. Just was like the main point and twist of the whole book, but she was sure just for that purpose and left behind like a garbe that no one want. but from a positive aspect I like that this book is not scary to talk about periods and femeal diseases of the reproductive system what was huge plus to me. Overall I am happy that book finishes with happy ending and shines the light on infertility and how hard it is to be a girl.
