Putting 3 stars just because it's true about feeling more in love because of enjoying the feeling of who you are when you are with them.

This book made me ugly cry 😭 . I literally couldn't process it right away. I couldn't put it down but when I finished the book I felt uneasy. 

The story was interesting but I do wish we had more depth to the characters in the story to add to the characters.

I liked the characters a lot better in this book than After I Do. This was solid. I really enjoy how quickly and efficiently TJR gets you into what is happening. Very detailed this is what you need to know and then the plot is where the juice is. Gotta love Emma. She really resonated with me in regard to growing and finding passion in things she dismissed growing up. Also I liked how this was a book about Emma. We all know Jesse has trauma and he will for a while and while the reader gets a glimpse during their fight, it inevitably turns back to Emma.

4.5/5 I read this book and basically one sitting such a great and quick read. I fell in love with Emma, not only because of her name, but because how funny and honest she is. This book kind of reminded me of a Telenovela but in such a good way. This is definitely a great easy read and would recommend it to anybody who is looking for a romcom. This totally pulled at my heartstrings and had me shedding a few tears. This is one of the books that I read at a great time to have loved it so much.

This one was so good. I really enjoyed reading this book and while I feel like I’ve heard the plot of this book before in a movie or a different book. I was curious to see what would happen by the end of the book but also predicted what was going to happen too. So while I figured what would happen I still enjoyed the book and the rollercoaster story that I definitely recommend for everyone to read.

This book really had me stressed! I was so worried that Emma wasn’t going to end up with who I wanted and at the beginning I wasn’t sure who I wanted her to end up with!

Overall, a good book that really made me wonder what it would be like to be in Emma’s shoes and make the decision she had to!
