”Love shows up. That’s how you know when it’s real.”

To be loved is to be seen couldn’t be MORE accurate with Abby’s books!! The way my sweet, gentle, angel baby Jacob SEES Bri and does anything + everything to ease her mind after her previous relationship trauma, AND continuously shows up for her, agrees to show her his soul and his journal which contains each moment documenting their love story will make me cry every. single. time.

The anxiety rep in here is just SO relatable! I loved watching Bri’s calming presence help Jacob and soothe his mind in various social situations. They suited each other so well and understood what the other needed, and continued to show up in ways they were needed the most.

I can’t say enough good things && seem to fall even more in love with these books with each read. 🥹❤️

“We’re all a little broken, Briana. We are a mosaic. We’re made up of all those we’ve met and all the things we’ve been through. There are parts of us that are colorful and dark and jagged and beautiful. And I love every piece of you. Even the ones you wish didn’t exist.”


The way this story just does something to my heartstrings! I cried throughout this read and adore Jacob & Bri even more.
