What an amazing ride. ❤️ I'm not sure what kind of magic Jiminez works in her books, but her newest work contains all the laughs, the feels, the joy, and the pain that love encompasses. One of the only downsides to getting an ARC is that there are very few people to bond with over the contents. You have to be careful not to spoil anything, but still convince people to read it so you HAVE people to squee over it WITH.

So I will say this: if you are an existing fan of this author, you will adore this book. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for easter eggs. If this is the first book you are reading in the universe she has created; welcome and get comfy...you'll be here for awhile. 🥰

**I received an ARC through NetGalley. I am very biased because I love this author. Just sayin'.🤣**
