I really enjoyed this. I love a good found family (ish) trope and I especially loved getting to see Them fall in love and really compliment each other as a couple. Since I finally finished all 3 books in the series I will have to say that this one is better than the first in my opinion but nothing tops the happy ever after playlist. This book was really lighthearted and overall a quick and fluffy read.  Just reading about them interacting and falling in love was enough for me. 

Synopsis: Vanessa, a famous YouTuber who travels to live her best life before she dies due to ALS, meets her neighbor one night at 3am when he tries to convince her to get her baby to shut up. Seeing the terrible state she’s in because of the baby, he offers to help and they quickly fall for each other but hold back from dating. For him it’s because she doesn’t date and for her it’s because she doesn’t believe she’ll live long enough. 

This book deals with a lot of heavy topics with her sisters drug addiction and other family issues but it’s handled well and is dispersed in with the fluff and romantic/happier moments.
