One of the best stories I've read in a long time. Every character felt fully developed and purposeful. Be ready to shed some tears though - especially if you have abandonment triggers or parent issues. If you do have either of those though, I almost encourage you even more to read this book all the way through; there's healing found in its pages.

rmkg's review against another edition

I really liked this one. The world is getting so lived in, with so many familiar faces, and the two leading characters were lovable and fleshed out, with realistic strengths and problems. I was really rooting for them.

Thank you to Edelweiss, Forever, & Hachette Book Group for the opportunity to read and review this book before it's publication date! This in no way affected my review, opinions are my own.

Review: Abby Jimenez's books are just so. dang. FUN. I love how there are super serious topics presented in each of her novels, but that they are done in a way that lets you go through the tough things without feeling like you've been clobbered. This probably wasn't my favorite of the books, just because the logic/plot portion of it missed a bit for me (for the most part, I'm able to suspend disbelief for her plots, but this one felt a bit too far-fetched). That being said, I can definitely say that if you've liked her previous books, I would feel fairly confident recommending this one to you as well!

I really liked this. I don't think I could've gotten through it if I hadn't listened to it though because there wasn't much action. I really liked the audiobook narrators. I won't be reading this again because all the stuff about mental illness was difficult and painful for me.

“Be glad you don’t get it. It means your life has been a lot gentler than hers.” 

Abby Jimenez never failed me so far. I have read two of her books before this, both are rated five star - Life's Too Short and Part of Your World (yes, I should have read Yours Truly but it's so hard to get a copy here in the Philippines so I had to buy them from an online shop that gets book from the state so I waited a good 4 months but I am finally getting it this book, FINALLY). I got to buy this book once it was available in a bookstore in the Philippines (our country doesn't usually get books once it releases so I got this probably a little before a month since it was released; I even messaged the bookstore staff to reserve one for me once a copy arrives in their branch. I totally even forgot about this and just was so excited when I got the message! I didn't even know that the bookstore will have stocks!) and read it a week after since I was still in the middle of a book.

I saw how people raved over it and rated it high so I did have high expectation, especially since I loved her other books and it resonated with me. I immediately loved the premise - about a boy and a girl having a "curse" and they have to get together to remove the curse. I just didn't expect that I wouldn't even be thinking about that curse after a few chapters because Abby Jimenez really just wrote this book so you could be there with them and not focus on other aspect of the story. This book was a rollercoaster of emotions - I know I say it with other books I've reviewed but this one was the most extreme ride I've ever ridden. I definitely did not expect to have so many emotions over a span of a chapters. There was even a point where I had to stand up from my bed and just feel. The quotes as well were all over the place! Every thing that's been said, I can deeply feel it to my core. It's just that good.

They say you can read these books as a stand-alone but I would say, just read the first two books because it's so much impactful if you did.

 Might just be the best book I’ve read this month.
