That was… quite a bit heavier than Jimenez’s other books. These are not fluffy romcoms; heed content warnings. Even the other two were pretty emotionally charged, but this one hit hard. I knew it was going to be set in the same world as Part of Your World and Yours Truly, but I guess I didn’t make the connection immediately. I thought that was a clever way to tie the stories together. The ending was slightly rushed, but still beautiful.
Graphic: Mental illness, Toxic relationship, and Abandonment
