The Night We Met

I loved this book it was so heartwarming and so much fun to read!

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

I especially loved that it wasn’t just a typical romance novel. It also explored deeper themes like grief and addiction, and how we sometimes feel responsible for the actions of our parents or friends. It showed how scary it can be to think we might turn out like our parents. This book was beautifully written, and I enjoyed every moment of it. Abby Jimenez definitely didn’t disappoint! I also read the first book, Say You Remember Me, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as this one. That being said, you can absolutely read this book as a standalone you don’t need to read the first one to understand what’s going on. Some characters from the first book are mentioned and appear occasionally, but they’re not essential to the story. This book gave me such a warm, comforting feeling like being wrapped in a blanket. I felt completely immersed in it and ended up finishing it in just two days because I couldn’t put it down. I was honestly a bit addicted to it. It was exactly what I needed at that moment. It’s a quick, perfect read to get you out of a reading slump just a fun, enjoyable book you can pick up anytime, and one I definitely think is worth reading.

“Maybe heaven was just an infinite car ride with Chris. Him behind the wheel. Us leaving everyone and everything behind.”

She's his best friend's girlfriend, and yet Chris can't take his eyes and thoughts off her. And Larissa herself has found someone in Chris who's perfect for her, even though he's not her partner. So why did she choose against him that one night? And what if things had turned out differently? First of all: I love Abby Jimenez's writing style! It's humorous, cheeky, and at the same time incredibly emotional and charming. I was initially worried that this book would romanticize infidelity in some way, but that's absolutely not the case! It honestly explores how to get a second chance and where you end up when you feel lost. The book delves into so much depth while simultaneously building romantic tension. Slow Burn fans, in particular, will enjoy this book! I loved it and would say it's my favorite book by the author after Funny Story.
