3.0

I wasn’t impressed. I liked the idea of the whole thing, but Daniel’s inability to take no for no was pissing me off. Alexis set boundaries multiple times, and he agreed every time with no intention of ever following them. I really didn’t like that. Even when she made a decision that she felt was best for herself, he thought he knew what was best for her. Idk. I didn’t like him very much in the second half of the book.

i did not expect to like this, but i did like it quite a bit, and even teared up at one point??? alexis really pushed the “we’re from different worlds” narrative a little too much and it did start to get a little annoying. but despite that, it was really fast and enjoyable.

I LOVED this. Abby Jimenez is such a wonderful writer. She makes her characters real and likable at the same time, the conflicts real, doesn’t increase the drama for effect, and manages to make the book still a fairly lighthearted read. The characters feel real and have real, life changing problems and choices, and I spend most of the book feeling uplifted and hopeful. I hope she never stops writing, and I have decades of her books to enjoy. 

Mild spoiler/trigger warning: short, graphic description of side character giving birth.
