I love love loved this book so much! The characters were adorable, relatable & I really felt everything with them. The love story between Justin & Emma is both adorable & hysterical. This book made me feel all the feels. This was my first book by Jimenez & I was not disappointed. I did the audio & the narrators Christine Lakin and Zachary Webber were incredible. I'll be picking up more by this author!

To say I was disappointed in this book would be an understatement. The characters in this book felt all thrown around.

Like Neil coming back why? That was a really dumb move I didn’t like Emma at all,  Not sure if that was the point but she was kinda insufferable. She also came really out of nowhere. I didn’t like that she chose to write this story with Justin. I read the three books in the series in secession and I could not even remember who Justin was until they mention Brad and Benny.  I was hoping for Benny’s story or something.  For 90% of the story nothing happened. Justin was sweet but he didn’t deserve the things Emma did to him. I never understood how people can forgive each other so quickly as soon as the person  that hurt them says I love you I also never understood the whole love at first sight thing but to each their own

I reluctantly liked this book a lot more than I want to admit. Now I will look to read the two preceding books in the series.

The cover and title scream light-hearted romance but this was so emotional I had to stop it multiple times. I stand by my opinion that romance novels are less about romance and more about the relationships the characters have with family/found family.

This book is superbly balanced. This is for the readers that love romance but still need mature conflict instead of a useless one for the third act breakup. Probably best for Emily Henry fans. Abby had me highlighting certain lines too, very good writing! 0 notes, I would read more by AJ. It was actually funny AND heartfelt with the serious topic of mental illness.

It was so good! I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed the journey of this read. 

The characters are beautifully developed, the writing is beautiful, but be prepared to cry. 

Definitely a trigger warning for abandonment…

Emma is beautifully broken and the way Maddie is her ride or die is so heart warming and gut wrenching at the same time. She knows how to meet Emma where she is with love and empathy without sugarcoating the truth. I love how protective she is of Emma, Emma needed someone like Maddie looking out for her. 

And Justin…*sigh* he is the definition of if he wanted to, he would. That’s part of what makes the story such a tear jerker at times. And I love how Emma helps him have more empathy towards his own mother. 

Absolutely loved it.
