4.5

I think Kennedy maybe started this one in the wrong place in the timeline - the first 1/3 of the book is Soledad dealing with and divorcing her shitty husband (dear universe: may Edward's nuts get permanently stuck in his zipper), so we get far less of the capital-R romance of Soledad and Judah than I would have preferred, despite these two being a smokin' hot slow-burn. But overall, this book is about Soledad discovering and loving HERSELF first so that by itself makes this a standout book of 2024.
