What To Expect:
⭐ Two neighbors
⭐ Force Proximity
⭐ Weird Stranded Situation
⭐ Valentine's Day Romance
⭐ TW: Stalking, suicide, kissing cousins and protecting yourself with firearms.
My Thoughts:
I don't know how Abby does it, but she really kills it even with a short story! This story is filled with the same witty banter she includes in all her books. While each character isn't FULLY deep like her full length books are, you get enough that shows you who these characters are. Charlotte and Seth (Main Characters) are both in their own ways adorably quirky, single and struggling through life circumstances at the same time. The story premise as a whole is hysterical. I actually felt bad for them for being stranded the way they were! I would have been FURIOUS!
There are moments that personally made me so uncomfortable and emotionally scared for Charlotte. I have been where she is and it is terrifying. Which is 100% a testament to Abby. I mean it was 82 PAGES! How do you do it!
I loved this but want all of them to have their own books. LOL.
Synopsis:
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much. But when disaster traps them one flight up and no way down, an outrageously precarious predicament forces a tree-loving guy and a rattled girl next door to embrace their captivity. Soon their defenses are breaking away. Considering how close they both are to the edge, Charlotte and Seth could be in danger of falling—in love.

关于作者
This story was literally so wonderful for how short it was
This was, in all honesty, the cutest and most heartfelt short story I’ve ever read. I already knew I loved Abby Jimenez because of Just for the Summer. But, man, when I tell you I’ll follow her novels anywhere now, I 100% mean it.Charlotte and Seth seemed fully developed and honestly like real people I’d love to hang out with. Nothing about this short story felt rushed and it was beautiful to see how much chemistry these two had in so few pages. I don’t want to talk about what happens too much since there are only 80-something pages, but just know that just because this is a short story doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile.Also, this short story was funny. Like not in the, ha-ha that was clever funny, but honestly hilariously funny in the most romantic way. I’m not a humorous person, so take my word for it when I say this was just a fun read in general that made me want to laugh out loud.My only gripe about this short story is honestly so petty but here it goes: I absolutely hated the fact that so many statements had question marks at the end of them. It took me out of the story so much when I’d just sit there and try to say the sentence in my head as a question even though it was a statement. Like I said, petty, but it bothered me so much.Overall, this was a very needed short, romantic comedy with a touch of seriousness. I loved her dedication (go check it out if you haven’t already) and I fell in love with the characters instantly. This was the perfect read for a lazy Sunday.
