I absolutely loved Samantha and Xavier. They were relatable and I could feel their struggles through this book. I laughed with them and I cried with them. I enjoyed how their story went, the highs and the lows.
This book has mental health rep but also tough life experiences for the characters. All were handled well by Abby. This is a book I could see myself reading again and again.

Abby Jimenez has done it again. 2nd book I loved from her. I laughed, cried and all the feels. 🥺🤧🤍
The only trigger I had was Xavier's parents' verbal abuse... The gaslighting, flip the blame, etc.

This novel did shine, however, in the care and grief surrounding Samantha's family. I believed the way Xavier fit right into the fold. Their struggles were valid, and I bought that both MCs held deep desires to support and be supported by their favorite person. Ultimately, the book was enjoyable.
