Two good neighbors make the best of a bad Valentine’s Day in a funny and improbably romantic short story by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer.
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.

I chose this book as one of my amazon first reads & it was the best decision!
This little novella was perfect for Valentine's Day & I'm so sad that it wasn't a full length novel. This was a great introduction into Abby Jimenez & I look forward to reading more of her work this year. This book was sweet, funny and serious AND it was written SO well! I will say that at first I was thrown off by the use of question marks that I believe were meant to be sarcasm or just plain statements. I see what she was doing but it just threw me off a little. I got past it though and I loved this little book.
77 pages of pure joy :,) truly wanted to annotate this entire story. the amount of time i cackled out loud is insane. ABBY JIMENEZ CAN DO NO WRONG
4.5 stars
I've been wanting to read something by this author for a while now and when this short story was available through February Amazon First Reads, I snatched it up. This was a short and quick read with no steam and while it deals with having a stalker, I thought this was a cute romance. You know that this is building up to a confrontation in the end and the buildup was great, but I was left a little underwhelmed with the actual confrontation in the end. It just happened so fast and so easily it felt kind of rushed. Other than that, though I loved everything else and will definitely be picking up more books by this author.
