In my eyes, Abbey Jimenez can do no wrong. Every single book Iโve read of hers has been a hit for me and this one is no exception!
What I love about the stories Abbey Jimenez creates is that we get everything! Her characters feel so real because they experience real human struggles that bring in real human emotions. It isnโt just sappy love and surface level conflicts. We get true hard-hitting issues that people we know may be dealing with or issues we may be dealing with ourselves. Because of this, I do recommend looking into the TW for this one. However, you will still be met with wonderful character development and resolution (that is maybe not what you hope) but what is for the best.
Abbey Jimenez is fantastic at bringing in the humor! There were multiple laugh out loud moments for me here and moments that had me smiling ear to ear. Whether it was banter between our MCs or the situations they found themselves in, youโll be sure have a good giggle here and there.
Letโs talk side characters because we have such wonderful side characters! A few of our past faves may or may not make an appearance! ๐คญ So that was just a bunch of fun! But our FMCs bestie was truly the absolute GEM here! She was spunky, had a dry sense of humor and always, always, always had our FMCs back. She definitely gave our FMC some tough love, and at times I was frustrated with her, but she truly knows our FMCs heart and just wants to protect it.
If you love romance, this book isnโt one to miss! In fact, I would beg allllll my romance loving friends to pick it up! Abbey Jimenez books are all standalones, however, I would highly suggest reading her other books in order first, if you are able. Abbey Jimenez herself has suggested to read her entire backlist first because she loves some Easter eggs! BUT I think if youโre super excited to get to this one, at the very least, try to read Part of Your World and Yours Truly before moving on to this one for the biggest payoff!
