Notes: The 2nd in the "The Improbable Meet-Cute" novella series (6 stand-alone novellas released around Valentine's Day 2024), and I just adored it. Both MCs were so cute and felt so real, and I just loved this story. I wanted so much more of it!!

Full disclosure: I realized when reading all The Improbable Meet-Cute short stories that I don’t like short stories, they leave me wanting more!!

“Take responsibility for your own unhappiness, Holly. If you don’t love your life, change it.”
I went in reading this short story thinking it would be the normal happy go lucky short stories it usually is - I was dead wrong. It literally reminded me of those few days before my own grandmother died and that made me miss her so much.
Abby Jimenez can make me feel so many emotions even thru short stories. I love how there’s that romance aspect in this book that made me forget I was sad as well. It was a roller coaster of emotion in such a short span of time.
