Life’s Too Short by Abby Jimenez
A brilliant and touching romantic comedy about two polar opposites, one adorable dog, and living each day to its fullest.
When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn’t expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn’t just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn’t want to take anything for granted.
But after her half-sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her infant daughter, life goes from “daily adventure” to “next-level bad” (now with bonus baby vomit in hair). The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she’d be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua.
Now she’s feeling things she’s vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see.
I really loved this one.
Adrian might be near perfect. I really enjoyed him as the love interest/new best friend. Vanessa sounded like such a fun person but she had so much responsibility. I liked how the book really focused on family. The love stuff was great and I did highlight a lot. But I preferred all the family stuff. Vanessa’s family was a handful and I liked seeing them get better over time. The baby was obviously a big part of the book and I’m not sure I’ve read a whole lot of books with babies. I adored the dog. Adrian’s coworker made me laugh. Actually, the whole book made me laugh a lot until I had some slight misting of my eyes.
I gave this book 5 stars.
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR?
