My 40th book of the year! Perfect as an audiobook. An easy to listen to story with some tough elements (addiction, chronic illness, grief). Abby always delivers 🥺.

While this was an easy read and I enjoyed it, I did find that the pacing wasn’t sitting that great with me. I also didn’t find Vanessa to be very relatable, and the male main character felt too similar to the male main in yours truly! Despite its flaws, it was what I needed to read today and still had my stomach feeling butterflies at the romantic parts

So emotional. I love the characters. This was a really unique book. I haven’t read another book like it, and I really enjoyed it.

Not my favorite Abby Jimenez book, but it did still make me tear up.
