I genuinely enjoyed this book! The connection between the two main characters was palpable and I'm so glad that the author didn't take the tiresome route of "they won't be together even though they can" for more than half the book and then bring them together at the end. No, instead, we got to experience the challenges and joys of a long-distance relationship between two people committed to making it work. Thank you, Ms. Jimenez! This book also addressed the difficult topics of being a caregiver for a loved one with dementia and childhood mental and physical abuse (trigger warnings â ď¸!!), which made the book all that more relatable.
This was another excellent showing by the author, who's become an auto-read for me. Can't wait for the next one!

Minor: Animal death
Insta love doesnât bother me. I believe in it as someone who has been with a guy for 16 years that was insta loveâŚ..but I just did not feel the chemistry between Sam and Xavier. In fact, there wasnât much of anything that happened this entire book, tbh.
I hated the animal cruelty, even if it was a small discussion a couple of times. Itâs my one trigger. Leave the animals alone, it wasnât needed for anything in this book.
The multiple references to Rhysand were overkill. We got zero tension. Everyone was miserable right through to the end.
Some of the banter among each of the characters was funny and I immensely empathized with the dad and the kids with trying to decide the best course of action for the mom as she declined as someone who watched Dementia rob my grandmother for over a decade.
This was another highly anticipated release from an author I adore where it just missed every mark and dare I say that yes Sam, I will forget you, just as you requested of Xavier in the beginning.
It was a fast read considering it lacked any depth at all so that saved it from being another DNF for me.
Onto the next one.

It was still hopeful. It exposed forgiveness and human imperfection and impossible choices.
It does follow the romance HEA.
