A Favorite Quote: “This was me making space for her, even though she would never know it.  My way of saying thank you for her friendship, even if it was too quiet to hear.”

Self-written Blurb: Two broken souls are on a collision course headed straight for one another.  They couldn’t have stopped the gravitational pull to one another even if they wanted to.  A rocky start, a storage closet, and an absurd favor pull Jacob and Bri into a whirlwind tale.  They both have jagged and dark edges.  Will they keep those pieces to themselves, guarding them with everything they have?  Or will they mend them together in a beautiful mosaic of love, friendship, admiration and respect.

What I enjoyed:  I. Am. Obsessed.  This book literally took my breath away.  The rawness of the characters and the mental health representation in a way that doesn’t play on stereotypes is completely refreshing.  Abby Jimenez has a way to just reel you in with her relatable characters and then makes you stay and crave more with the carefully woven in whimsical and romantic undertones.  A true contemporary romance genius.  Not to mention- laugh out loudable!  I can’t even count the number of times I had real out loud reactions to this story.  I cannot wait to read the next one.  

Any struggles?: Only that it ended. 

Will I recommend and to who: EVERYONE! Go read it! Now!
