Abby Jimenez puts the comedy in rom com, I have never laughed so much while reading a book. I read this series in less than a week and absolutely adored every second of it.

This was well done all around. This is my first Abby Jimenez novel and I’m already hooked. I really appreciated the complexity she was able to give the characters and the research/authenticity she gave to their psychological states/disorders. I also love the dual POV. Made the story so much richer.

Why am I just now finding out that this is book 3 in a series???! Anyway, this is a cute story and I think the main characters are very wholesome. I did feel a lot of different emotions while reading. Some of the plot lines didn’t make logical sense to me, but maybe that’s because this is book #3 of some universe (?!) that I’ve never read. Why doesn’t it say anywhere except on Goodreads???? (I rented the book on Libby, so didn’t see anything on the cover). It’s kinda boring sometimes because it’s a long book with simplistic writing. I liked the illness in the cabin scene the best.
