Reading this felt like coming home! The Night We Met was a page-turner, full of yearning and angst. The romance was written for people who love acts of service and a slow burn! Like other Abby Jimenez books, it made me laugh and swoon.
Although the romance was a central theme, it also explores heavy topics, like grief and addiction. There were moments when I was too anxious to put the book down because the conflict build up was so gripping. I appreciate how these topics were handled, and thought Abby did a great job depicting the characters going through their internal battles😭
My heart feels so much for all of these characters!
Chris has become a new fave MMC 🤭. He is so attentive and thoughtful. What I loved the most was that he constantly shows up for the people he cares about without expecting anything in return. Especially at times when it hurts him.
Larissa is dealing with a burden that was not hers to begin with. The constant exhaustion of her day to day made me feel so much for her. I see a bit of myself in her too, not ever wanting to interfere in other people’s space, and at times asking for help feels like a weakness 🥺
Mike has the best intentions, but is struggling silently. Even though there were frustrating moments, I had so much compassion for him throughout the book❤️.
Overall, I had a great time reading this! I recommend it to readers who love a heartfelt, friends to lovers story.
It was such a privilege to read this early! Thank you so much to Forever and Grand Central Publishing for this eARC. This comes out next week, on March 24th!
