O que gosto muito escrita da Abby, é que são experiências bem pessoais, colocadas na ficção, isso me pega, fazendo ler todo os agradecimentos para não perder nada.
De resumo, estava com expectativas de ser arrebatada pelo casal, mas não fui, isso prejudicou o ritmo da leitura. Entendo que Sloan está a sua forma, se "re-adaptando" ao que quer viver, como, novas formas, novas relações, mas ainda assim, não me apeguei. O instalove não é uma trope literária que gosto, e nessa história em especial, parece bem impulsivo e até com sinais de dependência afetiva, que me deixam menos "coração quentinho".
Uma coisa que achei importante, que faltou no livro anterior, foi a questão da adoção, que Abby resolveu bem por cima no epílogo deste livro, mas ainda assim, achei importante ela retornar a isso.
Vou seguir lendo os demais livros, para concluir esse Abbyverso criado. Mas reforço que os outros livros, em especial a segunda série, me arrebataram.

I loved Sloan in The Friend Zone, so returning to her story and seeing her get the happy ending she deserves made me so happy! She and Jason have amazing chemistry, and I loved reading about them and their relationship. I also loved seeing Kristen through Sloan’s eyes, and their friendship was one of my favorite aspects of the book.
This book did a great job of showing Sloan’s grief and depression, and it also did a great job of showing her growth and rediscovery of her self after loss. This was my third Abby Jimenez book, so I knew what kind of emotional turmoil I was going to be in for, and as usual it all felt grounded in reality.
There are a couple reasons this wasn’t a five star book for me. I think that Jason and Sloan had a bit of an unhealthy communication style, and while it improved throughout the book I still think that a lot of their earlier issues could have been solved with a better timed conversation. I also didn’t love the final conflict of the book, but I think it was all resolved well.
I will definitely be reading more of Abby’s backlist, and her future releases! 4 stars.
