My favorite thing about Abby Jimenez is that she writes about people with mental health issues: anxiety, depression, OCD, etc. This book also strongly centers around infertility and the barrage of insane menstrual issues. So, yeah, it's a rom-com of a book, but it's also just super real.
What's also real?this book has a HEA, but it also has a very serious, almost traumatic death in it. I was not expecting that, and it really knocked the wind out of me. Not gonna lie, I almost stopped reading. I'm glad I finished it, but that was much more painful than ever would have guessed.
What's also real?
