Abby Jimenez is so good! I enjoyed this book so much and loved all of the nods to her previous books. Emma and Justin were great characters. Each had their own baggage - a traumatic childhood and mentally unstable mother for her and being the legal guardian of three younger siblings for him - but they learn how to show up for one another, not in grand gestures but in life’s mundane, everyday moments. This was a great read. Abby Jimenez’s writing is smart and funny, and she handles tough, complex topics with empathy, compassion, and nuance. I hope she keeps writing books forever!
