This was my first romance read of the year after spending almost all of last year deep in thrillers — and it also became the first book I finished (or more accurately, listened to) in 2026!
Recently, I’ve been learning more about attachment styles and how deeply they affect relationships. This book reflects that beautifully. It reminds us that no matter how much we love someone, if we don’t understand both our own attachment patterns and our partner’s love language, relationships can easily become complicated.
What I really appreciated about this story is that it isn’t just about romance. It also explores emotional wounds from the past — how family experiences shape who we become, and how healing those wounds is part of building a healthy relationship.
The dynamic between Catalina, who shows avoidant tendencies mixed with anxious attachment, and Luke, who represents a more secure attachment style, makes the relationship growth feel realistic and meaningful. It shows how relationships can develop when both people are willing to stay, understand, and fight for each other. 🥺
Overall, this is such a warm and light romance — perfect to listen to during daily commutes or when you just need something comforting after heavier reads.
