- contemporary fictional romcom & final installment
- first-person dual POV of love interests
- Friends-to-lovers, nextdoor-neighbor, opposites-attract, & mega strong messaging of be-grateful-for-your-life story set in Minnesota
- FMC travel YouTube blogger/influencer Vanessa
- MMC lawyer Adrian (went on a date with Sloan in the last book) // Vanessa is fostering her younger sister’s baby, since her younger sister Annabel is struggling with addiction
- Adrian knocks on her door to ask her to quiet the baby down but they end up becoming friends
- Adrian is dumped by his girlfriend of eight months, after telling him she was married
- Cameos from previous series characters, much to my chagrin because FOUR KIDS?! REALLY, FOUR KIDS?! WITH THAT MEDICAL HISTORY?! LITERALLY FORK OFF
- Really dislike the making fun of “micro penises” & “nothing is that deep” mentality in here 😭
- cw: terminal illness, chronic illness (ALS), addiction, drug abuse, abandonment, mental illness, panic attacks/disorders, hoarding
- steam 1/5

CHECK TW!!
This book, as well as all of the other books in this interconnected stand alone series, deals will a difficult subject: terminal illness. The fmc believes she has ALS, as it runs on her family and she has a 50% chance of getting it and passing before she turns 30. So, she doesn’t seek relationships because she doesn’t think it’s fair to the other person if she thinks she will pass before she’s 30. This journey of accepting and giving true unconditional love, in sickness and in health, for no matter how long the other shall live will break your heart and put it back together again. This is definitely one of her novels you should read with care.
Again, Abby Jimenez draws inspiration from real life stories this book was inspired by a real person, Claire wineland, who was an activist and social media influenced with cystic fibrosis, who tragically died at 21 after complications after a lung transplant.
Overall, this was emotional and moving. It was not my favorite of Abby Jimenez’s books, but it was still good.
TW: terminal illness (ALS), she is forced to take care of her infant niece, abandonment of parent, parent death, OCD that manifests as hoarding, and drug addiction
