This was a really sweet book. It does deal with heavy subjects like loss and child abuse, which the characters navigate and learn to grow and cope with the trauma. I enjoyed the banter and the relationship Emma had with Justin’s family, along with her friendship with Maddy. If you have a Maddy in your life you never let them go 💕

Did not like Emma for most of the book. Justin was a strong character and I liked his banter, sweetness and affection towards Emma. Learning what Emma went through with her mom was a lot, and I did have empathy for her.

What happened to her was disheartening and I was angry on her behalf when she went to confront her mom about the lies.

She definitely handled that situation with more grace than I would have.

This is my first Abby Jimenez book, and I did have a really good time with such a uniquely premise-d but still familiar romance. Did the characters/plot get a little repetitive/predictive at times - yes, but there were other pops of color that were worth the read of this romance specifically.

I absolutely loved this book and didn’t want to put it down. I loved the characters and that I thought I knew what twists were coming and was continually surprised. I have so much affection for the main characters and appreciated that the author let the characters struggle and the representation a woman with

CTPSD and avoidant attachment, as we often see these portrayed as a rushed part of a man’s story arcs in romcoms

. I wish there was more exploration of what Justin was working through and felt that it wrapped up a little too quickly, giving it a medium/fast/medium/fast pace throughout the plot.
