"Vanessa lives life on her own terms -- one day at a time, every day to its fullest. She can't afford to think about whether she has the same fatal genetic condition as her older sister. After all, she has way too much to do, traveling the globe and showing millions of YouTube followers the joy in seizing every moment. But lately, life has been anything but pure joy, and travel has come to an abrupt halt. After her younger step-sister drops off an infant and skips town, Vanessa is housebound -- on mommy duty for the foreseeable future and feeling totally out of her depth. The last person she expects to help is her wickedly hot next-door neighbor, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows the guy. But the closer they get, the more she realizes her carefree ways and his need for a life game plan could never be compatible for the long term...not unless one of them is willing to take a drastic leap of faith"--… (lisätietoja)
Wheeew okay.. this was sooo goood. Would highly recommend
The first half had me grinning to myself like a fool and the second half had me crying in my pillow so hard.
The pacing was perfect. It has disability rep. Vanessa is just so funny and spontaneous however her love interest Adrian, is this stiff hot neighbor who happens to be a very sweet man..
This book was near perfect. It didn’t lean on the miscommunication trope as heavily as other books do, therefore it didn’t make me feel repulsed by it. It was actually more, when are you guys going to realize you’re in love with each other! But also, I’m not in a rush to find out because the in between parts are actually really good.
Shoutout to the toothless dog who bites people because he is possibly blind?? ( )
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all, I still know quite certainly, that just to be alive, is a grand thing.” —Agatha Christy
This book is like watching a viral vlog post dedicated to the cliche of living your best life. But, really, it does such a good job of showing life as a gift and an adventure—one that needs to be taken advantage of every day, every hour, every minute. Instead of being paralyzed by fear, chained by unforgiveness, or dealing with loss through any number of unhealthy coping mechanisms, fight to focus on the beauty and people and love that’s right in front of you. Don’t stare at the sun waiting for the meteor to hit. The bad stuff’s coming (whatever it happens to be) no matter what, so enjoy the grand adventure of life happening all around you. Jump into that life and live fully. ( )
Hooked from the beginning. The story had all the feels, I cried and laughed. Well written with characters to die for. Loved and could easily read again in the future. ( )
cute. cute. cute. I’ve loved this author from the moment I picked up The Friend Zone and they’ve gotten better and better. it’s so easy to fall in love with the characters. cannot wait to read Part Of Your World! ( )
Excellent romantic comedy. It had some seriousness, some humor and light heartedness, and terrific male and female protagonists. Very modern and up-to-date about social media. There was also a lot of seriousness about ALS, and donating to charity, which was a good thing. I would highly recommed for conremporary romance readers. Some explicit sex scenes but not too many or too long. ( )

“Life is no excuse,” she said. “You should always have an adventure lined up. Having something to look forward to is tantamount to happiness.”
I tipped my wineglass at him. “You suffer from One Day Syndrome.” He wrinkled his brows. “What?” “One Day Syndrome. You live your life like there’ll always be one day to do all the things you put off. One day you’ll take the trip. One day you’ll have the family. One day you’ll try the thing. You’re all work and not enough play. Money can’t make you happy unless you know what you want, Adrian. So what do you want?”
"Yeah. You don’t notice it? How she calms down faster when you pick her up? She already associates you with feeling safe because you saved her that night. She’s imprinting, right now. Little synapses are connecting and telling her that you’re good. She might be drawn to bearded men with kind green eyes and marry one one day, just because she knew you once. And she’ll never even know why.”
I felt like I’d been half-dead and I didn’t even know it, walking through my life in a sleepy fog until she’d woken me up.
“If you spend your life dwelling on the worst possible thing, when it finally happens, you’ve lived it twice. I don’t want to live the worst things twice. I try really hard not to think about the bad stuff. But every once in a while I’m human and I look up.” I studied him quietly. “Yesterday was just one of those days that I looked at the sun.”
“It’s just an illusion, Adrian. The control is an illusion. No one can promise you forever. People die unexpectedly every day. They have car accidents and heart attacks and strokes and if all you do is live your life fixated on how it ends, you’re just living the end twice. We still have time and all these things that you think will save me won’t. Stop chasing it and just be happy. Be happy with me while you can.”
“I’m so lucky I know you,” I said quietly. He paused for a moment. “I feel the same way. Like my life was a stuffy room, and you’re the breeze that came in when the window opened.”
