trigger warning: battling the ALS disease - death - loss of close relatives - drug addiction

This was SO WHOLESOME. Abby's writing and the pacing are absolutely fantastic. And I adore the fact that most of her books are pretty safe to recommend to non-regular romance readers. They are not spicy but they are romantic, heartfelt and so realistic.

All of her characters are loveable, funny, and filled with light, personality and she has certainly become a new staple in my recommendation catalog.

Both of her male and female POV's are so entertaining and the entire thing just feels so natural and yummy.

In this one, this female travel YouTuber has a troubled family and decides to foster her sister's baby. Her sister is in a battle against drug addiction and she just YEETS the kid with our FMC and runs away.

Lucky for our main girl, the extremely hot lawyer next door to her apartment is down to do whatever it takes to have the baby stop crying at 3AM in the morning so he can get to work the next day, and a friendship blossoms.

This gave me major Life As We Know It vibes, with the perfect friends to lovers setting and vibes. It did get pretty heavy and emotional near the end, and as usual, I always think these could up the spice level, but that is a personal preference. Other than that, this was pretty great!
