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.
