I DON’T KNOW.

I need to write this review, but also don’t know what to write. I enjoyed this, I did. But something was missing. I can’t quite put my finger on what. While not my least favorite of Abby Jimenez’s, I wouldn’t count it in my top reads of hers either.

Maybe something was off with the chemistry initially. It started off really funny and I liked the set-up, then I feel like I lost a bit of steam in trying to get through it. It might be my own personal past things that combined with small things happening in the book that made me a little flustered.

The romance was super sweet though. I adored Justin. That man was put through the ringer and kept showing up. I loved the way he loved. His friends, his family, Emma. He’s one of those good souls. I could have read this book entirely from his POV.

I feel like the unsung hero of this book was Maddy. She kind of got dragged threw the mud and I’m glad she found a HEA too because Maddy really deserved more.

This was a complicated read. I’m still an Abby Jimenez fan though.
