The nicknames… I just can’t get behind “buddy,” “angel,” and “angel face.” This book suffers from being longer than heck while successfully making her main characters talk and generally be together so rarely.

"Maybe you didn’t have to get over your fears completely to conquer them. Maybe if you just faces them in general that counted."
another 5 star MZ read????
i?? can’t think of any reason to NOT give this a 5 star rating?? two five stars in a row for the same author??? Who Am I???
this book is about new beginnings, and hope, and grief, and pushing through the hurt and still smiling about it.
with a fmc so emotional and teary that i have no idea how i didn’t dislike her (let alone adored her), but with an older, stoic, mmc and who is a single dad!! there was just no wayyy i wasn’t going to love this book.
but that isn’t all! this also featired small town living, a distinct season change narrative awareness, found families, thoughtful insights about grief and new beginnings. just!! gosh. this felt like a warm hug.
also, i think maybe most male romantic characters by Mariana Zapata are grumps? but if that’s the case that just means i’m gonna want to read all of them. onwards to the next!
