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

Okay so I really enjoyed this. It was pretty predictable relationship-wise.. but damn if that epilogue wasn’t the ultimate cop-out! You can’t have us preparing for her early death by hinting at symptoms for the entire book & then surprise- she’s fine! I was ready to be devastated Me Before You style. So minus a whole star for that ending 🙄


But I will say- I love that Abby Jimenez uses her platform to shine light on things like grief, infertility, & different medical conditions.

The banter and wit in Abby’s books is always on point and this book doesn’t disappoint. 
There’s a lot of miscommunication in this book, so be prepared, but it’s accidental. 
The characters are wonderful and charming, and the love story is well written and cute. 
I loved the ALS side of this story, I know there’s more to it than just this story but it was a good way to include chronic illness and bring awareness to a chronic illness that needs some attention.

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. 🤩🩷
