This book was beautiful in the way that all of Jimenez’s books are. It’s tears you up a bit as the characters grow into the best version of themselves, it delves into the nuances of a real relationship and how those come about and the complexities in them, and then it somehow crescendos into something that puts you back together. 

I loved that the characters grew with each other, but ultimately, that they grew apart from one another as well. They are individuals and they decide to love one another. They show compassion where there could be frustration and anger, and they give the reader the sense that they, too, could overcome what plagues their hearts and minds. It was beautiful. A book that will make you swoon, and laugh, and cry. 

Very very well done.
