[The author also (afaik) appropriates the term "spirit animal" and I'm not sure how far the lines are blurred concerning colloquialisms. Some expressions rubbed me the wrong way.]

Diana is raising her two nephews after the death of her brother. While struggling with her imposter syndrome to be a good influence of them both, Diana is working full@time as a hair dresser and taking another to baseball practice or finding Louie’s missing shoes.
Somehow Mariana Zapata just knows how to capture you with the slow burn romances. There wasn’t the same kind of magnetic pull between Dallas and Diana that her other couples have, and I loved it. How they went from Dallas’s unconvinced reluctant that Diana was only@trying to sleep with the “hot baseball coach” to her being his friend, then moving into their soft relation was ✨wonderful✨. It was sweet and creeped right up on you I think it helped that through Diana’s POV, she was so distracted by everything that when she realized how much she cared for Dallas, the audience already knew how perfect they’d be together because their actions throughout the book spoke so much louder than words.
I can’t imagine taking care of any of my nieces and nephews for longer than a week, let alone imagining doing it without your sibling. 💔 this book was special
