don’t read this book if dementia effects your family it will make you cry while making brownies on a wednesday. 

i wanted this to be rated higher, but i dont think insta love books are for me. my mans was head over heels for samantha from the first page of the book and that just doesn’t feel believable to me. 

however (!!!!!!) the effort that both of them put in to the long distance relationship (which, let’s be real that was the entire relationship) was very believable that they were in love i guess. 

samantha was so confident in her job, and maybe that’s just because we never really went too deep into her position, but her reaction to being fired told me enough that i knew sister was shonked 

hank was really a sleeper guardian angel to xavier

things i didn’t like: the constant bringing up of come on eileen….didnt care for that at all. but ms. jimenez has a habit of constantly mentioning the one token thing from how the main couple met throughout the story, and i think she could do with 75% less of the mentions. maybe 3 times max.

I had a hard time with this one. My first turnoff was how many cringey current day trendy language references are made (i.e., ACOTAR references galore, “are your consequences consequencing”). Books that rely on references to current pop culture trends are one of my biggest pet peeves and, in my opinion, will not stand the test of time. I also felt that the romance was lacking depth. I wanted more character growth and relationship development, which was stunted, I think, due to the long-distance setup. I understand the long-distance plot point was part of the struggle, but it also meant that I didn't fully believe in the true-love-happily-ever-after ending. It ended up feeling rushed and insincere. I appreciate the inclusion of real-life obstacles and the struggle of the characters trying to navigate very tough decisions and their own family traumas, but in the end I felt it was all wrapped up too easily.

Abby Jimenez books tend to go either way for me and unfortunately this one didn’t do it for me.

Undeniably Abby Jimenez. Breaks a bit from the standard romance format and sometimes a little depressing. Still very sweet, but I like some of her earlier books better.

Abby Jimenez never ceases to amaze me with her poignant romantic comedies. She is truly a master at creating a realistic and vivid world with relatable characters. The characters in this book truly tug at your heartstrings.

Well, that just punched me in the heart. I loved so much about this—the very real depiction of disease, and the exhaustion and grief while someone is living, the fact that the miscommunication trope was only used lightly (same with enemies to lovers), and the discussion and acceptance of messy choices and lives. And I adore Xavier.

I really enjoyed this one! The characters had great chemistry, and Abby Jimenez always knows how to bring the emotions. The romance felt genuine, and the story touched on some heavier topics without being too heavy overall.

That said, a few parts felt a little too dramatic or wrapped up a bit too neatly for me. Still, I was invested the whole time and found myself smiling (and tearing up) more than once.

Not quite a top favorite, but definitely a solid, emotional read with a lot of heart. If you love slow-burn romance and a bit of depth, you’ll probably enjoy this one too.

Didn’t really like this book too much sadly. I think there was too many time jumps from the main characters getting to see each other from one time to the next and it all felt rushed but also slow somehow ? I think had the book been shorter it would’ve worked better maybe
