Briana and Jacob are doctors and two people dealing with their own stories, families, and problems. When they meet it doesn’t go well. Yet we get to read for the journey, knowing the ending will be happy. 

Abby Jimenez writes complex characters and beautiful stories that capture your attention, imagination, and emotions. The Easter eggs she offers - Nadia cupcakes, Taylor Swift, etc - are so fun. And the author’s note at the end can’t be skipped. 

I loved journeying with these two characters because it was more than just romance. This is a story of two flawed and real people who desire love but are hindered by their wounds and old narratives. The kidney donation element heightened my enjoyment immensely as I am a kidney donor (July 2020). The way Jimenez dealt with anxiety in sensitive people was also authentic and respectful. I really enjoyed this book and will be recommending it to friends.
