I LOVED this book. An emotional rollercoaster with so many poignant scenes, quotable lines, relatable feelings, and joy- I was surprised by how much positivity in what sounds like a depressing book (terminal illness, family with addiction and other issues, an abandoned baby). I thought of several people who I wanted to recommend this book due to different scenes or perspectives that I thought they would enjoy or relate to or benefit from. I benefited from this book. I have liked other Abby Jimenez books (like a lot- I read one and needed more) but wow this has to be my new favorite of hers! Probably my favorite book of the year (definitely so far, but confident it’ll stay number one for 2024). Read this!!
