Synopsis: Vanessa, a famous YouTuber who travels to live her best life before she dies due to ALS, meets her neighbor one night at 3am when he tries to convince her to get her baby to shut up. Seeing the terrible state she’s in because of the baby, he offers to help and they quickly fall for each other but hold back from dating. For him it’s because she doesn’t date and for her it’s because she doesn’t believe she’ll live long enough.
This book deals with a lot of heavy topics with her sisters drug addiction and other family issues but it’s handled well and is dispersed in with the fluff and romantic/happier moments.

ASL is discussed at length in the book and several of the main character’s loved one died from it. The main character fears she also has ASL, ultimately though her medical issues aren’t chronic.tea_t's review against another edition

Vanessa quit her boring job to travel the world but she didn’t think she’d become famous for it. After her viral video, she’s finally living a fun life seeing places she never imagined seeing and her mom and sister not make it to 30, she didn’t want to take any chances.
When she comes in custody of her niece, her life is thrown for an ultimate shift and one night when the baby is up crying, she doesn’t expect hot lawyer Adrian Copeland to come knocking on her door to help and showing off his secret babysitter skills or that she’d be spending more time with him.
Watching Adrian being good with the baby, having marathons and dinners with him and falling just a little in love with him, she finds herself doing the one thing she didn’t expect herself to be doing: hoping for a future that may never come.

I was blooooooown away by this one! Her first two books in the series did not have me ready for this. I was thoroughly impressed by the switch up and really suprised me. I had some expectation for what the plot would be and what her characters are usually written like and although there was some of that, this one is definitely in a league of its own.
It was fun and real and so human to me. Adrian’s character was charismatic and sweet while Vanessa was like a breath of fresh air. Both characters dealt with real family and personal things and were more complex than Jimenez’s past characters and that’s what made this book so incredible. I usually love more involvement with babies/kids and the fuzzy feelings of seeing one’s love interest spend time with them but I didn’t mind that the baby didn’t have a starring role. It was a fun component (for me at least because I like the trope) to add and I like the way it was all handled.
The topics discussed in this book were heavier than the past ones too but yes, it was all solved in the end but with Jimenez’s past two books, it just seemed like such magical endings. This one seemed just a little more believable.
Also, I know her other two books mention bits and pieces of Minnesota but this one being set in St. Paul/Minnesota was fun. Like, ooooh! Stillwater? Yeah I know that place! I love reading about Minnesota as a setting, it’s fun for me, a born and raised Minnesotan lol
I liked this one a lot and am excited to see if Jimenez will continue to write rom coms as wonderful as this one. And just 1 mention of her cake business! You keep girlbossing Abby!
