All the women in Vanessa’s family have died before the age of thirty and she’s positive she will be next…but things get complicated when a baby falls in her lap and the attractive lawyer next door steps in to lend a hand.
This was by far my favorite installment of this series, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Vanessa and Adrian were amazing, I loved their chemistry and watching their relationship bloom from strangers to friends to lovers. I loved the complicated family dynamics and thought they added a lot of depth to the story, and I was really invested in the plot the entire time.
My one complaint is probably that this one didn’t feel like it wrapped up quite as neatly as the previous books, and I would have liked a big epilogue to tie off all the bows (particularly if it also checked in on the couples from books one and two!) But, in the context of this story and the messages/themes it offers, I also understand why it would leave things a tiny bit more open-ended.
All in all, I’m officially a Jimenez fan now, and can’t wait to jump into her standalones soon!
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: slow burn strangers-to-friends-to-lovers; geriatric chihuahuas; rom-coms with heavy topics

I find with Abby Jimenez books she kind of pulls you in from beginning to end and you feel every emotion along side the MCs! And the dual POV is always superior! Abyy really knows how to write a book that touches on real life issues and creating hope with in the pain around those issues!
BUT we always have that HEA at the end no matter the issue that is being worked through. Which is why we read these books in the first place to create sadness, then hope, then joy! At least that’s why I read romcoms!!
I will always pick up anything Abby Jimenez writes! She is an instant buy for me!
