I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump for around a month or so now and this book was so good that I read the last hundred pages or so in a single sitting. I had such a good time reading it, and it made me tear up a little at the end. There was always a thread of hope and joy through the entire story that made it so comforting to read. I adored it

4.5

The last 1/3 of this book was ROUGH (emotionally). I stopped believing there would be a HEA and it was making me sad. But I kept repeating HEA HEA HEA and it came though only at the very end. 

Jimenez is a new author to me and so far she’s got a real knack for smart dialogue and fun MC. 

It is rare that a romance is a heart clutching tear jerker for me (and I’m fine with that! It’s a lot!). But this one was and it’s good to know that my heart is still capable of spasming in pain because of a book. ❤️‍🩹

I will note that this is a pretty tame romance s@x-wise. Almost a closed door romance, which is usually not my thing. But my tears were so distracting I didn’t even notice until the book was over (I’ve read 2 Jimenez books so far and both have been witty and funny but the s@x has been kind of bland).
