I think I’m starting to understand Abby Jimenez as a writer. The male main character is unrealistic in the same way that all MMC’s are: completely dedicated to their lady, totally invested in the relationship and willing to apologize and make drastic changes to fix a relationship problem after 2 days apart. This is what (nearly) all women read romance novels for.
However, her female main characters are more unrealistic. Vanessa has zero women friends. She has one younger sister who is absent for most of the book. Her younger brother is occasionally present but rarely supportive. She has a male friend who supports her rarely but is long distance. What is that mess? I have so few friends and I have a ton more support than Vanessa has. Yet she’s is almost endlessly cheerful with the rare brief sob? Not possible. Not with that diagnosis, no therapist and no support. The math is not mathing.

“Like my life was a stuffy room, and you’re the breeze that came in when the window opened.”
First of all, why have I never read the synopsis of a book? I asked my cousin to pick a book I should read next amongst all other books in my TBR pile and she picked this one. Covered it up in a plastic, grabbed tabs, highlighters and pens, and put it in my book bag so I could easily grab everything later on during my flight to Fukuoka, Japan. Little did I know that I was in for a ride (and not just because of the turbulence on that plane ride lol). Second of all, I brought so many swoon-worthy and romance related tabs when in fact, I should have brought loads of quotes and sad tabs! I barely passed a third of the book and I was already out of it. Vanessa really do be out there being wise and giving so many quotable lines ugh. Good thing Japan is full of tabs I could buy for emergencies! Third and last of all, I loved it so much. My first Abby Jimenez book and I was not disappointed. I had to download an ebook so I could read them throughout the train rides or anywhere else since I can’t just sit down and read-underline-highlight a book. I had to transfer all those from my phone to my physical copy. I just can’t not read it. I had to know what will happened between Vanessa and Adrian. So thank you, Abby. I’ll definitely be recommending this book to my friends.
