Eu não fui com tanta expectativa nessa leitura, por se tratar do primeiro livro da autora - e em outras experiências, a leitura de primeira obra pode não ser tão boa. Ainda assim fui surpreendida a ponto de ficar acordada até conseguir ler o final, de madrugada.
Por se tratar de uma obra com assuntos tão sensíveis pessoalmente para a autora, acho que foi bem real as experiências, com respeito às experiências vividas direta e indiretamente.
Definitivamente os plots foram inesperados e me lembrou muito o jeitinho Shonda de ser - e que adoro. Os personagens são cativantes e amei os crossovers de algumas aparições de outras histórias.
Acredito que há algumas coisas questionáveis, por se tratar de assunto tão complexo, com a infertilidade, adoção... mas ao compreender que foi baseado na experiência de vida da amiga, achei compreensível o rumo que a história tomou. Vou engatar na leitura dos outros livros da série para descobrir o desenrolar.

This beautiful tear jerker! I enjoyed this story,  but Abby broke my heart. This book may trigger certain readers, so check the warnings before reading it. It's well written.  I love the characters and the plot is very well done.

I love Abby Jimenez’s books. And I liked this one too.. I just.. I’m not sure. Maybe I need to ruminate for a while. It felt  pretty steady basic romcom- like (miscommunication was driving me crazy and Kristen’s gas lighting was also annoying). But with 100 pages left or so it took some turns… I’m not sure why they were there or what the point of adding them were and I was kind of hoping it wouldn’t end the pretty unrealistic way that it did but.. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
It wasn’t my most favorite AJ book

I don’t know how to feel. did I cry? yes. did I like it? I guess. did I hate it. absolutely. 

I was mostly enjoying the first 3/4 (despite thinking the FMC was annoying) but the last quarter ruined it for me.
Brandon dying pissed me off. I think just as much could have been accomplished by him being hurt and surging too. the whole getting together and pining after each other while dealing with the death seems tacky to me, maybe it happens in real life too, but I hated it. I cried for Sloane, I was more invested in their relationship which DIED than the characters it was supposed to be about. idk if I want to read Sloane find her person in the next book.

I’ve loved other books by this author, but had a hard time with the immaturity of the characters in the beginning. I was also incredibly frustrated by Kristin’s absolute unwillingness to talk to Jacob about her concerns. The twist was incredibly graphic and while I did appreciate how well several difficult subjects were handled I just found myself too often wanting to send all the characters to therapy. It was fine. I’m not upset I read it. But it just wasn’t a hit for me.
