There were times when baby Grace seemed to be an afterthought in the scene or situation, and while she was apparently a very ‘easy baby’ (do those exist? I certainly didn’t get one) that felt a bit unrealistic. This story broke me so many times, but don’t worry it also used Kintsugi to put me back together again at the end.
While it will definitely make you smile, it will also probably make you weep, so I’d put it more in the romance / family drama / women’s fiction camp. The two of them were so different but complemented each other so well.įrom the adorable cover you’d be forgiven for thinking this is a rom-com. Vanessa’s situation kept getting messier and messier, but Adrian was there for her and managing to deal with his own baggage at the same time. They felt real, and flawed, and nuanced and completely loveable. I loved both of the main characters so much. When the baby next door won’t stop wailing in the middle of the night he offers to help, and is thrown head-first into Vanessa’s life. Her half-sister shows up on her doorstep and asks Vanessa to babysit her newborn while she does some shopping, except she doesn’t come back and suddenly Vanessa is thrust into motherhood.Īdrian Copeland is a criminal defense attorney and likes to have control over everything in his life. She’s lost close family members to ALS and is convinced that she will be next, so she doesn’t want to waste a minute. Vanessa is a travel vlogger, and lives every day as if it is her last…because it might be. The first is The Friend Zone, and the second is The Happy Ever After Playlist. If you haven’t read the first two books, you absolutely should, but they do work as stand-alones. This is the third book in The Friend Zone series, and I don’t know how it is even possible but each book is better than the last. Thank you to Forever Publishing for gifting me a review copy of Life’s Too Short by Abby Jimenez.
