I loved this and I think it's my favorite book of Jimenez's so far. It was a really relatable and emotional story and very reflective of anxiety. my only issues with it were the insane amount of miscommunication that started to genuinely piss me off because if these adults just talked about their emotions ONE TIME then so much of the conflict could have been avoided. I also thought that the final conflict when Brianna sees

Nick and Kelly pregnant

was a little weird, just because it seemed out of nowhere and like that actual situation wasn't discussed at all. I understand that Brianna's trigger was necessary for her character development but I just wish that this was incorporated into the story in a more seamless way. overall though, I still really enjoyed this :)
