Abby Jimenez has done it again in creating a love story that makes me want to laugh, cry, and actually start dating again.
Watching Sloan come back to life after the events of the Friend Zone (highly recommend reading these books in order although not a requirement) was amazing.
The way Jason and Sloan met and came together was like a warm hug in the form of a book. Jason’s patience as Sloan overcame her grief and fear of a new relationship was very well written.
I found some of the conflict in the second part of the book frustrating, but not enough to knock off more than .25 stars because frankly there HAD to be conflict or I would have lost interest. I enjoyed the conflict that was driven by Sloan and Jason trying to step out of the way of the other person’s dreams, but I did not like the use of Lola as a tool to drive them apart. It felt reminiscent of Britney Spears being villainized for years and left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
Overall, I highly recommend!
