If someone asked me what word I would use to describe this book, the first thing that comes to mind is “Beautiful”. This book was absolutely beautiful. To say I am a fan of Abby’s writing is a gross understatement. She is one the reasons why fell in love with romantic comedies. Her books are a canvas of emotions. They make you laugh, they make you cry, and boy do they make you feel. She tackles subject matter that either exposes pieces of her inner world to her readers or helps us better understand the the struggles of those around us. It’s no surprise why Yours Truly has become a fan favorite, I don’t think I could have fallen any deeper in love with two characters if I tried.
While the depth of this book knew no bounds, the humor (as always) was front and center.
Never missing from a Jimenez book, the spice delivered but the character vulnerability and intimate moments were more intense. I found that I favored the almost moments more so than the actually connections. The tender touch of a hand, the close proximity, the possibilities – Abby nailed them all.
There was so much in this book that could have spoken to a variety of readers. Abandonment, divorce, anxiety, expectations, and life altering health issues are just a few that may be triggering. While none of these moments brought me to tears (close though – tissue was in hand!), I felt them all the way to the bottom of my heart.
It always saddens me when I reach the end of Abby’s books, mainly because I am impatient and don’t want to wait a long time for the next one! With that being said, the care and talent that goes into each one of these crafted masterpieces makes it worth it. I applaud Abby on another job well done and can’t wait to see what else she has in store.
