4.5 - such a lovely story of loss, grief, and second chances. There were a few things that felt like a stretch to me, or maybe I’m just jaded because my marriage crumbled in much the same way…without the happier ending. 
Beautifully written though, and I’m excited for Soledad’s story next!

Beautiful writing and definitely a diverse read but completely not for me. I was expecting a love story and technically this is one but this is really a book about overcoming groef and fixing mental health and navigating family dynamics and love when you’ve loss something which is an important conversation to have but that aside; I didn’t have any connection to them as a couple and none in them getting back together, also the spicy scenes were mid at best. 

I cried way too much for this to feel like a great romance. And I definitely feel for the characters but this book definitely needs trigger warnings and a new marketing campaign.

This was a phenomenal story! I loved every second and there is nothing I would change. The characters were written with such depth it felt like I was right there with them navigating each of their emotions and experiences. This wasn’t just a love story about a couple it was about love for yourself, family, friends and everyone in between.
