Honestly disappointed in this book. The first spicy scene in the book was just so cringey. Also Adrian could’ve spent more time watching Vanessa’s videos to find out about her ALS possibility. Like I thought he knew already and when he found out for real I was surprised too. He’s a dumb boy. Idk he was likable in the previous book but I didn’t like him in this. And for the book to end with her not having ALS? Like I guess happy ever after but also ??? Just annoyed with this book. The first one in the series was the best and my favorite tbh

My first Abby Jimenez book.

I liked the slow burn, but got a little annoyed with the stereotypical 'miscommunication' trope that kept them apart. It would have been better if they were just trying to resist that whole time, rather than resisting because they thought to themselves that the other person "could not possibly interested." That being said, I did like the conflict for the most part

and I liked that they spent a significant amount of time apart before re-kindling. It made it feel just a little bit different than your typical romance.

Based on the previous books in this series, I knew going in that there probably would be some heavy topics, but this felt like so many heavy topics all at once. Regardless, I loved their story. To me the ending didn’t really live up to the hype of the first 80%. I also wanted more epilogue. I feel like Grace wasn’t in it enough in the end, and the happy ending wasn’t long enough I wanted more!
