Where We Promise by Ashley Munoz
5.0

I want to start by saying I had not read the first two books leading up to this one.

And holy moly. I’m binging those other two immediately because this book was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The fact that Ashley Muñoz was able to get such a strong emotional reaction from me without me even knowing the overarching plot speaks to her incredible writing.

Y’all I was hooked. The story was so phenomenal and well thought out. The characters were amazing and heartbreakingly human. I was in tears multiple times, laughing out loud, fanning myself and just overall in readers heaven for the duration of this book.

This story is told with lots of flash backs spanning about 10 years. These interspersed with the present day made for an absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching story and the character growth that’s seen by doing this is some of the best I’ve read. The emotional response was so strong, I’m already read to start a reread and I know this will be a story I return to many times.

The spice was great and definitely a slow burn which was so fitting. It almost lulled me into a false sense of complacency before smacking me in the face and I’m so here for it. The MCs chemistry is absolutely fire and with those flash backs, ahhhh! It’s perfection.

Genuinely one of my favorite books I’ve ever read and I’m so excited to dig into Ashley Muñoz backlist, I can barely contain myself.
