This book follows in Jimenez's trademark ability to pair humor with difficult topics in the most perfect balance. She puts her characters through the wringer with realistic and relatable adversities and makes you feel all the feels.

You absolutely can read this as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading her books in order. Not only are they all amazing, but there are interconnected moments you'll love.

The meet cute in this book is everything (just like all her books!) and I was swooning over Daniel immediately. He is such a fantastic hero. He was so lovable and swoon worthy and only became more so with each page.

I loved Alexis from the beginning too. Her character flaws are so situational and it was really amazing to see her grow. I loved her personality and I loved her heart.

The dichotomy between super small town and big city is so well done in this book. I loved the glimpses we got into both as it was enlightening into the upbringings of Daniel and Alexis.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. It was wonderful. The communication between the characters, the romance, and the difficult topics covered were just a few of my favorites.

This book covers emotional and domestic abuse please be aware if this is a trigger. It is very well researched and written, but will definitely be a trigger for some.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
