Abby Jimenez never misses. This book warmed my heart, then ripped it out and stomped all over it, then put it back in a thousand times over. If you have mommy issues, make sure you think long and hard about whether you’re ready to think about them because this book will really give you something to think about. Emma and Justin had a sweet, simple bond that I think spoke to the message of the book. Something uncomplicated between them in their extremely complicated lives. At any rate, this book is an emotional rollercoaster, but Jimenez treats it with beautiful, tender care.

This book really highlighted what trauma does to a person, and the damage it does to others. It was so beautifully, and in my opinion, realistically excecuted. Not only did Abby Jimenez show personal, and difficult problems the MCs had, but how they solved them together or individually. I appreciated everything in this book, and it made me laugh out loud too much!

Loved it. Really enjoyed that it was a bit different than other romances- there wasn’t that annoying thing where if only the characters had a real conversation this all could be avoided. Not quite a 5 star only because I don’t think it’s a book I’m going to be thinking about months from now, but definitely would recommend and I’m looking forward to checking out other books by Abby Jimenez.

Thank you to Edelweiss, Forever, & Hachette Book Group for the opportunity to read and review this book before it's publication date! This in no way affected my review, opinions are my own.

Review: Abby Jimenez's books are just so. dang. FUN. I love how there are super serious topics presented in each of her novels, but that they are done in a way that lets you go through the tough things without feeling like you've been clobbered. This probably wasn't my favorite of the books, just because the logic/plot portion of it missed a bit for me (for the most part, I'm able to suspend disbelief for her plots, but this one felt a bit too far-fetched). That being said, I can definitely say that if you've liked her previous books, I would feel fairly confident recommending this one to you as well!
