This could have been a 5 star read, but a miscommunication trope will always be a deduction from me.
I LOVED how this wasn't necessarily insta-love. We saw two strangers become friends before lovers, and that's everything to me.
I actually learned a lot about ALS from this book. It definitely made me think about how I live each day and see the world. And I got some laughs out of it!

Classic Abby Jimenez contemporary romance about characters who have baggage from past trauma, are successful in spite of the chaos, bring out the best in each other ,and live happily ever after. In other words... this is the kind of story Colleen Hoover wishes she could write.
I loved:
- Main characters with messy/traumatic families who maintain relationships with their families without letting the mess define who they are individually.
- Two successful professional main characters rather than the more common trope of one successful person and one mess.
I'm conflicted because this book is not my favorite (I don't like stories with so much emotion), but it was well written. So... 4 stars as a book, 3 stars for my preferences.
