Thank you for the ARC Abby Jimenez and little brown book group.

Honestly, I don't think Abby Jimenez ever misses. Her books are sooooo comforting, it's like a warm hug to my soul. She does it every single time for me. For me, Yours Truly was one of the top books I read last year and I never thought anything could top it after that. But she proved me wrong. We're gonna have an Abby Jimenez book again for the top books pf the year list and I'm not in the least bit surprised.

This book was so so good. The plot, the execution, the writing.... Everything was done was damn well. It was hilarious, cute, a little emotional, touching and had so much romance that it made my heart ache with longing. 

Justin is the kind of man you hope to have in your soulmate. Funny, kind, attentive... Let us all try and manifest a Justin in our lives! 

I have never related to an FMC more. Emma felt the need to always care, always keep everyone around her happy, always choose empathy and had to stop expecting from people because of everything she went through in her childhood. The way she was, the way she thought and experienced things, even the way she became "small" when things didn't go her way... That's exactly how I am and how I become. She is one of the most relatable characters for me. I was so proud of her progress by the end of the book and how far she had come.

Honestly, I wish everyone reads this book atleast once to experience the magic of this book. Because if I had to use just one word to describe how I felt reading this book, it would be exactly that : magical. ✨💕🥺
