I love how believable these characters are, but the refusal to communicate trope is tired. The drama ramps up dramatically in the second half and the tone shifts SERIOUSLY. Be mindful of the content warnings.

um.... idk..... i'm very picky with friends to lovers and this one was just two strangers who became friends just so they can fuck each other though he did have to wait bcs she HAD A BF (he was shitty but uh still pls make a decision) ?? her personality was just having an infertility problem i know it's bad but i just hate the fact that she keeps mentioning it in every chapter.... and his personality was just being a firefighter. the end of the book was so all of a sudden though it did make me a lil emo but uh the rest wasn't something i expect from an abby jimenez book
