This book is really pretty. I like the way the male and female main characters are written and the plot of the story. I don’t know why it took me so long to make connections to the other two books, but when I did, everything made so much more sense. I loved the way the story circled back in on itself to make all the other books connect to this one. I felt a connection with Emma because mom-trauma and I understood her deep desire to fix her cracks. I don’t know how anyone picks a favorite from this series — they’re all so good in different ways. None of the stories are alike, and lots of romance authors have a set recipe they use for a book that makes them all similar, so I found that really refreshing. There was a little spice but again, not too much. I think all of Jimenez’s books have so many nuggets of wisdom and truth about love, family, and relationships. I can’t wait to read more of her work.

I really enjoyed Part of Your World, which is why I picked this one up from Book of the Month. Wow! This was great! I absolutely loved the chemistry between Justin and Emma, their conversations do such a good job of showing how compatible they are as people. It was so fun to see the connections and Easter eggs from Part of Your World, I'm sure I missed some from Yours Truly and I'll have to read that one as well. There are definitely some darker topics covered in this story, so I recommend checking the content warnings, but if you're a contemporary romance reader I think you'd probably enjoy this!

Emma’s inner turmoil, reactions and approaches to a challenging, chaotic parental figure felt relatable to my experiences and well-done. I think the romance took a bit of a backseat to the focus on Emma’s growth but I didn’t mind that, although I would’ve liked to have gotten a bit more of Justin’s perspective on his own struggles. 

 

Overall, there was a lot of laughing, crying and healing. This is not a lighthearted romance and so be prepared and take care of yourself going into this, especially those with complex relationships with parents. 

 

This is my second book by Abby Jiminez and I enjoyed it a lot more than the first one I read by her (The Happily Ever After Playlist—I’m sorry I know this one is beloved 🙈). I know this is the third book in the Part of Your World Series, which I haven’t read and I didn’t feel lost reading this book in the slightest, although I did hear that there are some fun Easter Eggs in here for those who have read it. This is also a dual narration, which always amplifies an audiobook in my opinion, although I found each narrator’s performance a bit average. Nothing to write home about.
