I felt like this book was one of the least toxic romance novels I've read in a while, with some good character development and growth and people able to find their way back to one another.

The things that annoyed me didn't outweigh the quality of the characters, but I found it frustrating how Vanessa tried to control her family with money.

Overall really enjoyed the story but some of the plot points resolved way too quickly imo, especially when dealing with really serious topics like hoarding and drug addictions. Finding out it wasn't actually ALS that was causing her hand numbness felt like an afterthought, but I love a happy ending when the overall theme is life's too short to dwell on the bad things so I'll let that slide. I can suspend reality to an extent but everything being resolved with a week of therapy is wild, as much as I wish that were the case irl haha

I flew through this book! The characters are multidimensional and face what life throws at them in such real ways that you can't help but want to see it through with them. The romance is beautiful with all it's ups and downs. The characters made me feel so many feelings with them. I laughed. I cried. Multiple times!!! There is just something magical in Abby Jimenez's writing that seems to get me under it's spell every time. 🤩🩷
