ARC review- thank you Forever and NetGalley for an ecopy to read and review! 

Soledad's story is one of self love, acceptance and finding a partner that will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Soledad is a mom and her role has been raising her children and when her life is turned upside down the life she had worked hard to create was at risk of being torn down. But Soledad dug deep and she found a way to do what she has always done- provide and care for her family. 

The only difference is now she is also caring for her personal needs. Finding herself and healing. Soledad is Puerto Rican and her culture and family connections came through so beautifully. 

In addition to being about self love there is also a romance here. With someone completely unexpected but he has such a kind soul as well and it comes through with how he interacts with his own children. His children have autism and seeing that representation of a parent to a child with autism was handled with so much care and love.

Like with all of Kennedy's books it is so clear to me that she writes with so much intention, care and love. Each book is a love letter to the people and communities she represents. Even ones outside of her own lived experiences and seeing that everytime just makes me awestruck and appreciative of her craft. 

Also... Kennedy can write a villain character like no other. 😂 She will have me ready to go swinging for her characters and that speaks volumes to the way she makes you connect with the characters. 

So if is it not obvious... I loved the book and I highly recommend it.
