Such a fun read! Abby Jimenez is quickly becoming one of my favorite rom-com authors. This one even surprisingly had me tears. 5 ⭐️

This was a really good book. It was heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.

I enjoyed this intimate look at the “peak of the storm“ of a couple's marriage set within the backdrop of an actual winter storm. It definitely has the atmosphere of time stopping a chance to pause and reflect, which they do with multiple flashbacks. I didnt mind the shifting in POV especially because the narrators changed for the audio. I liked and understood most of the subplots but maybe not Tripp's?

Okay, I liked this book overall. I liked the chopping and changing between Jess and Mal, and how it biased whom I had empathy or sympathy with. But the subplots were odd. I'm not sure they were really necessary?
Good ending too.

SoI did end up finishing it. I am pretty good at DNFing when I am bored but when it‘s a train wreck sometimes it‘s hard to look away 🤣

This book unironically highlights the harm of the idolization of biological children IMO. As someone with PCOS who can certainly related to the struggles Kristen experiences with her cycle I was actually kind of excited to see this kind of representation in a FMC. ⬇️

MatchlessMarie It‘s just too bad that she ends up being so insufferable that I probably should have DNF‘d this book. She basically places the MMC‘s mention of a desire for biological children onto a pedestal in the stratosphere and pushes this idealized narrative even after he tells her otherwise. 8mo
MatchlessMarie To say nothing of the ending which even though, according to the author‘s note is based on true events, I feel that a lot of folks who struggle with infertility could take as a sucker punch. Also she did Brandon so dirty to advance the plot. I did enjoy the banter and some of the character development, but I really couldn‘t recommend this one. 8mo
MatchlessMarie Also Josh is a saint 😂. Am I going to probably read the next in the series to see what justice Sloan may have? Yeah, probably 🫣. (edited) 8mo
peanutnine Poor Brandon 😭😭 that plot twist was so unexpected 8mo
