I found this book to be so refreshing and inspirational. Soledad is an Afro-Latina woman, mother, best friend, and wife (at the beginning of the book). What seemed like an ending was indeed a beginning for Soledad. And it’s so beautiful to see a story where two people get to find their person after going through a divorce. Aside from the romance, it was lovely to see Sol focus on finding love within herself, and as she focused on that, she began to see where her interests and passions lie outside of motherhood. Also, the autism rep, mental health rep, the cultural food (!!!), and again, seeing a powerful Afro-Latina represented in romance is impactful and meaningful. 

As for the hero Judah Cross? WE LOVE HIM!! Every time he wore his glasses, I was internally screaming alongside Soledad.

& a note about the ex- In my opinion, I didn’t think her ex-husband suffered enough. I hope we see more in Hendrix’s story.
