This book had me staying up until 4 am to find out what would happen to Emma and Justin. Their romance had me kicking my feet in the air and rooting for them the whole time. Jimenez writes complex characters that feel so real and raw. I immediately put every other book by her on hold from the library upon finishing!

A soft romcom with heavy themes of complex PTSD from childhood trauma. Jimenez has a way of writing characters that you can’t help but relate to and adore.

Abby Jimenez puts the comedy in rom com, I have never laughed so much while reading a book. I read this series in less than a week and absolutely adored every second of it.
