Kristin suffers from very painful periods and schedules a hysterectomy. As the maid of honour to her best friend, she meets the best man and finds herself falling for someone who breaks all her fast rules. 

This was a touching romance that hasn’t been discussed enough. Kristin and other characters seemed so real they jumped off the page. All the issues were so real it made me feel all the things. 

I definitely recommend reading this if you like romance novels, because it’s something that many women go through and although this is just one person’s story, it’s very important. 💕

A great read i walked in expecting your usual romcom but its far more than that, its has the perfect amount of fluff, tragedy and reality. 
10/10 would recommend

Ok so this a good book but don’t be fooled by the cover we got ourselves some spicy but also lots of crying ahead. This book is not for the faint of heart, I legit sobbed multiple times 😭. Abby Jimenez does such an amazing job of making you fall for all the characters and really tears your heart out at some times 💔 but you also can’t put the book down. Josh and Kristen’s story is amazing with real life ups and downs that make you fall for the characters that much more. Enjoy the book cuties but you’ve been warned 😘
