“He pulled away to look at me. “Let’s make this the best time of our lives. Live every day like it’s your last”
I sniffed. “And when one of them is my last?”
“You’re my soul mate. I’ll find you in the next life. Like i found you in this one.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Just that quote in itself should pull you in and think punch my momma in the throat and bite me because when is it my turn!!!
No but really I cannot begin to express how much I loved this book. First Vanessa was fucking hilarious and so inspiring. Adrian was your serious, hard worker till he dies, and loving character. Its giving grumpy x sunshine vibes.
I annotated the fuck out of this book with so many inspiring quotes & so many romantic instances that made me punch the wall and scream. This was a slow burn read in regards to romance and having duo POV and capturing the moments they fell in love with one another yet are both afraid to fall in love together, just MUAH.
Literally please read it that’s all I will say. You will love the characters and love their journey together.

I read another book by this author before and I didn’t like it. I concluded that maybe the way she writes is just not to my liking in general so I went into this one a bit hesitant and wary.
But lo and behold, I ended up really liking this one.
I absolutely love how it’s not an instant attraction for both of them; it makes it more realistic how Vanessa has known of Adrian and always thought he’s hot but Adrian has never seen her before in his life but gradually develops feelings for her by spending more and more time with her. Most books are like: meet cute, bam instant attraction on both sides, bam sex – which is crazy unrealistic.
Speaking of gradually developing feelings, the feelings realisation portion of this story is my favourite kind: where they spend so much time together that their lives have slowly start to fuse without them realising it and then one day they’re just like oh, I’m actually in love with them. So cute.
I loved the main characters. Adrian is so charming; a guy who’s good with babies, can cook and can deal with all the shit life throws at you without instantly taking off for the hills? swoon. Vanessa’s pretty funny and down to earth to, considering she’s supposed to be a famous Youtuber. I didn’t really get the vibes from her at first but I guess that just made her all the more relatable.
Some of the side characters were loveable too. Vanessa’s kooky family was so confusing and lowkey annoying at first but I ended up taking a liking to them once they turned around for the better. Well except for Annabel; I couldn’t believe she outwardly said she didn’t want her own daughter but I guess it would be too good to be true if all the conflicts were solved perfectly.
I also really appreciated the slow burn because I felt that Adrian and Vanessa had a connection that was deeper than just a physical one. Like yes, they found each other attractive from the get-go but they were there for each other emotionally before even a kiss was shared and that made their relationship all the more wholesome. And I’m very happy the sex was purposeful and the scenes were not written in graphic! Because some authors just make their characters seem ridiculously horny and it annoys me to no end.
Overall, very satisfied with this book. I would’ve given it a full 5 stars if only I were a tad more smitten by Adrian (like the give me chest pains kind) and if the pacing were slightly faster.

Started and Finished in one day and it was such a good story! I laughed and cried and felt all the feels. I've seen ALS up close so the characters really hit home for me. Even with the layer of harsh reality I felt the good times.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed this. I love a good found family (ish) trope and I especially loved getting to see Them fall in love and really compliment each other as a couple. Since I finally finished all 3 books in the series I will have to say that this one is better than the first in my opinion but nothing tops the happy ever after playlist. This book was really lighthearted and overall a quick and fluffy read. Just reading about them interacting and falling in love was enough for me.
Synopsis: Vanessa, a famous YouTuber who travels to live her best life before she dies due to ALS, meets her neighbor one night at 3am when he tries to convince her to get her baby to shut up. Seeing the terrible state she’s in because of the baby, he offers to help and they quickly fall for each other but hold back from dating. For him it’s because she doesn’t date and for her it’s because she doesn’t believe she’ll live long enough.
This book deals with a lot of heavy topics with her sisters drug addiction and other family issues but it’s handled well and is dispersed in with the fluff and romantic/happier moments.

This book just makes you fall in love with their love story. It makes you believe in happiness for everyone and then, just, rips it all away until you’re a crying mess on the floor. It’s a hard book to get through because although it’s fiction, it touches on many different truths about life. I loved it but the ending was just too sad to make it a perfect 5.0 and I was not warned about it ahead of time so it scarred me a little bit I think.
