Holy hell. I didn't think I'd like the story too much because of the baby aspect, but I was blown away by this one. The book is so important to me as someone affected by chronic illness. Jimenez had me laughing often, and in the second half, tears joined the crew. It was a really meaningful story despite its humour. The relationship between Vanessa and Adrian felt so organic and beautiful. So much time dedicated to building their friendship! Their desire to be around each other, in any form, till the end was just... chef's kiss.
Life's Too Short was heartbreaking in the best way. It almost had me convinced it wouldn't be a happy ending (but it was, phew!!!). I can't wait to re-experience it in the future.

“He pulled away to look at me. “Let’s make this the best time of our lives. Live every day like it’s your last”
I sniffed. “And when one of them is my last?”
“You’re my soul mate. I’ll find you in the next life. Like i found you in this one.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Just that quote in itself should pull you in and think punch my momma in the throat and bite me because when is it my turn!!!
No but really I cannot begin to express how much I loved this book. First Vanessa was fucking hilarious and so inspiring. Adrian was your serious, hard worker till he dies, and loving character. Its giving grumpy x sunshine vibes.
I annotated the fuck out of this book with so many inspiring quotes & so many romantic instances that made me punch the wall and scream. This was a slow burn read in regards to romance and having duo POV and capturing the moments they fell in love with one another yet are both afraid to fall in love together, just MUAH.
Literally please read it that’s all I will say. You will love the characters and love their journey together.
