Jimenez mixes romance and comedy with a deep dive into how parental and intimate partner emotional abuse can impact someone who appears to have it all. Throw in some sweet small town charm, serious class differences, and a bit of magic for a unique spin on common romance tropes.
I appreciated the portrayal of a secondary character with mental illness who struggles while being a full member of his community and not being treated as a burden.
*Cute alert: includes a baby goat in pajamas.

Major domestic violence trigger warning. Otherwise, a nice and neat romance. Not too cloying. A woman learning who she really is and stepping into it. A best friend worthy of the title. A boyfriend every woman wants.

There are parts of this book I really enjoyed and parts of it that seemed to drag on. One of the most challenging things for me was the classism that was rampant in the book - or more so, I could see the book trying to address classism and how it can impact a relationship, but the extent to which it was discussed and how things turned out didn’t allow for more thoughtful dissection.

I liked the MMC and felt like he had so much to offer the FMC, who got on my nerves a bit toward the end. What’s tricky is I understand setting boundaries and clear rules before engaging in a relationship of some kind - but I’m not sure the nuances of respecting those boundaries/seeing how feelings can shift were fully untangled.

I liked the representation of complex family dynamics and learning to live for yourself, I actually didn’t mind as much the age-gap though I thought I would more. I did like how the author portrayed the small town life juxtaposed with the rich glitz and glam, though I will say Alexis it was frustrating at times with how in denial she was. I do appreciate the portrayal of

generational trauma with abusive/manipulative relationships

and finding the strength to believe you deserve better.
