This story is a delightful read of second chances and mutual pining. Due to not having truthful conversations, Mari decides to accept getting married to a man who is not the one who she's loved for years. Javi for his part, has decided to finally declare his love only to find out that maybe it's a little too late. More than When Harry Met Sally, this book had My Best Friend’s Wedding vibes, or maybe both. The author takes on a journey from when they first meet to the present. This book made me giggle in some situations. It was a tad longer than it should've been where some passages didn't add anything new to the story. The resolution felt a bit rushed exactly because we spent time on things that were mentioned before. Nonetheless, I recommend this book to fans of friends to lovers, witty banter, and constant timeline shifts stories. I have read other books by Mia Sosa and it is just as good.
