Abby Jimenez has become an auto-read author for me. I’ve enjoyed reading all of her books thus far, and The Night We Met is no different. Honestly, I was surprised to get it from my library so soon after its release. Jimenez isn’t a best-selling author for no reason.
The premise of The Night We Met actually had me more curious than any of her other books. I mean, how do you write a romance where the main characters can’t be together? That said, this one is definitely a slow-burning romance if ever there was one. But the slow burn made sense, and the chemistry between Larissa and Chris was palpable from the beginning.
It was obvious from the moment you met Mike that he was not the man for Larissa. I could explain my thoughts and reasoning for saying that, but I feel like that would spoil the book. I hate that it took Larissa so long to see it. Of course, if she had seen it sooner, the book wouldn’t have been as long. And no, that’s not a bad thing. I never want a Jimenez book to end.
My biggest issue with the book was the last chapter. I’m not sure if a friendship group that had been together as long as the one in this book would move on so easily. I feel like if I say more, it would be a spoiler, and I really strive not to spoil books.
If you are concerned that this is part of a series, don’t be. Like all of Jimenez’s books, you can read them as standalones. That said, there are occasionally characters and settings that overlap from previous books, so there may be some spoilers.
Overall, The Night We Met is another fantastic book from Abby Jimenez, and I can’t wait to read more from her. Sadly, it’ll be a while before we get book three in this series.
