This book is a bit of a slow burn but eventually offers up some spicy moments. If you are into books with a lot of internal monologues regarding emotions particularly anxieties and fear, this one is for you. There were times when I wanted the characters to communicate more but towards the end it almost felt like over-communicating or that it needed to be a therapy session. I wish there was a little more balance throughout. I really felt for Isabel, she’s a caretaker by nature it’s her love language and didn’t realize it wasn’t what her loved ones needed until they had an argument. I thought that Isabel’s grief was well written and managed and was very realistic. I wish we would’ve seen Mira address her burnout and overworking concerns a little more. I enjoyed this finance. I feel like fans of Triple Sec by TJ Alexander or of Role Playing by Cathy Yardley would enjoy this book.
