This is my first Abby Jimenez book.

I had NO IDEA what i was getting into, and i can honestly say i was not disappointed ONE 👏🏻 BIT 👏🏻

This is a cute love story between Emma and Justin, that unfolds into topics of childhood trauma, ptsd, trust, commitment, and family.

I love that the characters were easy to identify with, and fall in love with (except Amber, and Maria).

I love that the author used a lighthearted topic of live to dive into heavier topics, i think that it was done beautifully, and those references of trauma, ptsd etc never seemed out of place.

I LOVE the writing style and the fact that there’s 2 POVs.

I love love love how the book ends, the resolution of the plots, the characters growth, the fact that all side plots were addressed. It was just perfect. Thank you to Abby for not leaving the side characters without some sort of an ending to their stories!

I don’t think there is anything i didn’t like in this book (I’ve just put the book down so it might come to me later), but for now, solid 5⭐️!
