This book was so sweet. I fell in love with the characters, like usual with Abby Jimenez's books. Vanessa has received custody of her dysfunctional sister's infant daughter. Soon after, she meets her apartment neighbor, Adrian. Of course, we know what comes next. It was so charming to see their the two's relationship develop and to see Adrian fall in love with taking care of the baby too. Like usual, Jimenez incorporates beautifully written yet heartbreaking trauma that the characters have been forced to endure and "deal with." I find it to be really responsibly well-written, which is an enduring quality of Jimenez's books - many authors don't bother with that. I think I have 2 more of Jimenez's books to read and I've been drawing them out because I don't want to be caught up with her catalogue yet!
