I started this book and wasn’t really able to get into it initially. I came to this book because of my love for Just For The Summer. And while the fundamentals were similar, I didn’t love it just as much. 

Thankfully I was able to get into the book after a few chapters! The books was really good and inspiring to live your best life because you never know how many days you truly have left. 

Abby Jimenez writes lines that sound like Taylor Swift lyrics and it’s really beautiful. 

There were definitely turns in this book and I found myself considering how they come up with these twists, if they just draw from a hat sometimes. But the story was very good and cohesive. 

I was in love in love with the characters but they were enjoyable. And I related more to the male character and the emotions he was going through. Both characters had some listening problems but I think they worked out in the end. 

Grace was one of my favorite characters and she was so sweet. 

At the end, there is a sort of update about all of their lives for a few months. And I think it was good that Jimenez stayed realistic and didn’t make it seem all happy, but on the right track with a few flaws (Spoiler: Ex. Annabel relapsing but getting help immediately)

This book is cute and it wouldn’t be my top recommendation but I would still recommend it as a fast paced romance if you’re facing some baby fever! Abby Jimenez hasn’t failed me yet!
