Promise Me Sunshine: A Novel

Está lindo, pero se pudo hablar del tema del duelo, tener más background para los personajes centrales. Un poco más de interacción con la sobrina y la hermana. Hay capítulos que se podrían haber evitado. El final demasiado predecible y forzado. Como siempre se llega al final de una manera rápida y sencilla

The paper quality is very poor, there was no information about it but it’s printed by Amazon 🤷‍♀️

This book did not disappoint, and there is no better feeling than that for a reader. Miles, the man that you are...they way he cared for everyone is his life, but especially for Lenny. While this book is a slow slow burn, I didn't mind it at all, and I didn't find myself wanting the pacing of their love story to speed up. I think that has to do with the way it was written in a true friends to lovers fashion. Seeing their connection develop, how much they cared for each other, how loyal and protective they were to one another, was really beautiful. Lenny is going through an immense period of grief and it sort of stuck not knowing how she'll move on with her life and be ok without her best friend in her world. And while initially she and Miles don't hit it off, they make a deal to help each other with their current struggles. For Lenny, as mentioned, is learning how to live again after the the death of the love of her life (her best friend), and for Miles it's to connect and build a relationship with his niece (whom Lenny nannys) and sister. Speaking of nieces, I absolutely loved Ainsley! She was such a fun character, who also had her own struggles/feelings towards her moms busy schedule. That time spent with Ainsley is what helps Miles form a relationship with her, with the help and support of Lenny of course. And that time spend with each other is what helps Lenny and Miles see one another in a different light, discovering that there is more to the other person than they originally thought there was. While this book does have sad and painful moments that might be difficult for some readers...it also has beautiful cathartic moments that help the main characters heal. They make new friends along the way, make new memories, have fun adventures, and ultimately fall madly and deeply in love with each other. I loved this book, and would 10 out 10 recommend, 5 stars.

Oh my heartstrings, consider yourselves officially shredded! This book left me in pieces, but I adored every moment. Miles... oh sweet Miles, a character so enchanting he'll forever reside in my heart's VIP section. Honestly, we all need a Miles in our lives. And Lenny, oh dear Lenny, she absolutely wrecked me. Her pain was so tangible, I just wanted to dive into the pages and squeeze her with a massive hug. A brilliantly beautiful, heart-crushing yet heartwarming tale that's an absolute must-read!
