I love Justin! The way Jimenez writes her men 🤌🏻. Even though these are technically stand alones, I would highly recommend reading them in order, especially if you don’t want to spoil the ending of Your Truly. I LOVED how this tied back to Part of Your World, even though it was very clearly right in front of my face, the moment it all connected I was like OMG NO! My only complaint want the overuse of Emma getting small. I understand and honestly relate, just felt like a weird and overused way of saying it. Still cute and enjoyed the story!

It was good, but I have to say its not Jimenez's best, purely because the ended felt so rushed!!! I highly suggest reading Part of Your World prior to this (for full effect), and I would say Yours Truly is optional. I just could've gone without

the third act (more like fourth act) break up, but whatever. I loved the characters and seeing Emma grow made the book enjoyable.

I think this book encapsulates Jimenez's style well - handling heavy topics while still remaining funny and easy to read!

I absolutely enjoyed this book! It’s such an amazing story that is well written from a two POV. This book made me soooo giddy and I found myself routing for two characters that aren’t even real. By far, the best book I’ve read this year!

Super surprised how this turned out. I thought it would be an easy beach read but it turned out to be so much more and much more emotionally deep. The author had a few throw backs and tied it all together with brief interactions with past characters. Lovely rom-com with a dash of emotional trauma.
