Thank you Harper Collins for the gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book was enjoyable right from the beginning. The writing is great, and it will stick with you.

Although the book just has one girl (woman) on the cover, at its core is a mother and daughter story of resilience and strength. I loved Ruby and how cool she is (but omg, I think ALL PARENTS NEED TO BE LIKE RUBY), and I loved how she is a solid rock for Noreen, her daughter. I loved watching them together, even in the awkward parts. IYKYK ;)

Sure, the characters may have been slightly childish for me, or acting unrealistic in my POV, but it’s a romance, so this is kind of to be expected. I would not change ANYTHING about this book, and I want more from Sheba Karim * adds backlist books to TBR *
