I appreciate the mental health aspects that Abby Jimenez writes into her romance novels.  I found this book incredibly sad despite it being tagged as more “funny and hopeful.” 

I was pleasantly surprised how much it tied back in with “Part of Your World!”

As usual for Abby Jimenez, a sweet story that respectfully explores trauma (at least from an external perspective). Fun references to her other books sprinkled in.

This was a silly little book for the train I pretty much enjoyed! Abby Jimenez tends to be a bit too cheesy for my liking but the dynamics are always so sweet and tender. What stood out to me in this one was the main theme - what makes love real are the ordinary, unglamorous parts! The levels of trauma these characters are working through are crazyyyy so it does feel earned when they have to put in a lot of work to be together. Also I found their ages actually pretty realistic for the conflict they were experiencing with families and settling down which was nice. Good stuff not my favorite but cute and honestly quite sweet.
