The Darkness that Follows Us
They were never supposed to fall for each other, but every rule has an exception.
Andrew Cortes is the troubled playboy who’s life has spiraled into a world of pills and secrecy after the recent passing of his younger brother.
To avoid his mom’s pestering on settling down—a life he swore to himself he’d never accustom to—he enters into a fake-dating arrangement with his wildly beautiful, free-spirited friend, Kat Harrison. When they make a pact not to fall for each other he soon realizes that she’s his biggest addiction of them all. But can he save her from his destruction?

4/5⭐️
I recieved an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Although The Darkness That Follows Us could be read as a standalone, if you haven’t read Summer in Phoenix, this is your sign to read it now!
The story picks up a few weeks after the conclusion of Summer in Phoenix. Andrew is trying, and failing, to come to terms with the passing of his little brother Elliott. Kat is working herself physically and mentally exhausted in order to keep her and her grandma from drowning in bills. Before Elliot’s passing, Andrew and Kat were friends but he basically ghosted her since the funeral. As they rekindle their friendship and come up with a fake dating scheme to keep Andrew’s mom from badgering him about “getting back out there;” their friendship gets messy, feelings get hurt, and trust gets broken. Typical romance novel plot, right?
Wrong. I think one of my favorite things about Lana’s writing is how real her stories are. Some romance novels feel like hallmark movies and are just unrealistic. But this book? It feels like it could be someone’s real life and real love story. Throughout the book the character growth was fantastic, especially with Andrew. He went from a cold, shell of a human to someone so full of love and understanding. The pair (Andrew and Kat) went through so much individually and together and overall it was such a sweet story to read and a great way to wrap up lingering questions from SIP.
The only reason why I’m rating it 4 stars and not 5 stars is because there are quite a few spelling/grammatical errors all throughout the book. I also felt as some of the chapters abruptly ended and left me feeling like “that was it? That was the whole chapter?”
I would recommend this two book series to everyone! Especially if you’re in need of a good cry!

“She pulled me out of my darkness as if it wasn’t even an obstacle, and together, we’ve built a home filled with love, laughter, and of course, music.”
How many times did I need to pause, cry my eyes out, and stare at the ceiling while clutching my heart? Too many to count.
My first ARC and another 5-star read by THE Lana Vargas! This was the healing I needed after the gut-wrenching and heart-shattering read of Summer In Phoenix.
I thought I needed to reread SIP to have Elliot and Emory’s story fresh in my head but, I didn’t need to. Their story is so engraved in my heart now that any mention of them in this book will always have me tearing up.
Kat and Drew both have gone through so much individually and together. The representations in this book from family to self struggles hit so hard and I felt very seen and heard.
They have been connected since the start without them even realizing it. And they both found each other at the right exact time.
“Something was there from the beginning; it just took some time for you both to notice it.”
Lana, thank you for blessing us with two beautiful stories and an eternal attachment to both of them! 🖤 💜

This book was so cute, it was the perfect balance of realistic yet fluffy. Fake dating will always be a fav trope. The 90s references were spot on (peak of romance films). I love how the author included not one but two epilogues! It gave the perfect closure to Andrew and Kat's story, and it allowed us to see the lives of their close friends and of the characters in the first book (2 and 10yrs later). After the ending of the first book, I am glad there was a happy ending in the second. Also, there was a cookie recipe at the end of the book ♡

This was a cute read! I found this author on Tiktok and I knew I needed to read her stories. I LOVED the Hispanic representation particularly with the conversations surrounding mental health. Ate this up on my flight!

I liked it, i would recommend reading at your own risk as this book discusses addiction, death of a sibling and trauma. It was a good read!

I had the opportunity to be an ARC reader for this lovely book. :)
What can I say about this book? I LOVED it so much! I had already read Lana's first book, so this wouldn't be the first time that I'm diving into a book that she wrote. If you have read Summer In Phoenix (her debut book) then you already know that I had to read the second book!! If you haven't read it, I highly recommend that one too because I devoured that book in literally 3 days!
In this book, We got to follow Kat and Andrew's story, so it is dual POV, which I instantly loved.
For me, what I really liked about this book is how raw and real these two main characters felt. I instantly empathized with Kat and Andrew and what they were going through, because I felt like I could relate to these character's emotionally. Like this quote "If you always look happy, people automatically assume you are, so that's what I pretend to be." (I totally felt that).
I also really liked that Lana incorporated a friend group where the male main character invited the female main character into their inner friend circle cause I didn't often see it in the books I read, at least how it's done in this one. I thought it was so cute and not only that but I loved Hero and Chance, I thought they were a really good addition into the story and seeing them befriend Kat was the sweetest thing ever!
I also wanted to talk about Lana's writing because I don't know how she does it, but I always feel like I can just binge her books! Her writing is so easy and natural that it just makes you want to keep reading, and not only that but she knows how to write tearjerker scenes in books!! Like the first book made me sob, and this second book I also felt emotional but I felt like I got to heal and we got to see a happy ending from Kat and Andrew!
It was hard to choose a favorite quote, because I have many, but this one is up there on my top fav quotes in this book: "My mind reels, thinking about why her face came to mind earlier, and I come to the conclusion that Kat has just engraved herself in me, so now, I compare every girl I see to her."
Thank you Lana! and congrats on your release of another amazing and lovely book! :)

I fell in love with these characters and so will everyone who reads this book.
I was given the honor of my first ARC read being this amazing book. I’m so glad it was my first!
I have waaaay too many favorite quotes from this book thats it’s hard to choose one, but I will. “She’s her own genre of a person.” If a person said that about me, I’d probably fall to my knee’s and cry tears of happiness.
I love the dynamic between Kat and Andrew, but I also love how Andrew’s friends were incorporated in it. A lot of books don’t showcase the fmc having a friendship with the mmc’s friends. This one shows it perfectly.
Fake dating trope is my favorite and this one encapsulated it perfectly. The way the trope is used in this book is different than most but I love that about it.
Thank you so much Lana for giving me the opportunity to be an ARC reader for this wonderful love story.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review, and it was a sweet read. Picking up a month after the events of Summer In Phoenix, we see Andrew and Kat grappling with their own personal struggles. Andrew is mourning the loss of his best friend, while Kat is facing the challenges and pressures of everyday life. As they rekindle their friendship, they find comfort and solace in each other's company, leading to a blossoming romance. Their story is heartwarming and sweet, a testament to the power of friendship and love.
While there were some nice moments in this book, I found it to be a bit of a challenge to get through. The story often felt drawn-out and uninteresting, I struggled to connect with the main characters, and there were grammatical errors that confused me. However, I did appreciate the secondary characters and the heartfelt moments involving characters from SIP. Overall, I would give this book three stars because, despite its flaws, it did offer a sweet story and provided a glimpse into what happened after SIP.

God how I love Kat and Andrew. Some people are just made to fall in love in every timeline and these two are destined to be with each other in every universe. To think they are only fictional breaks my heart into a thousand pieces. This is an exceptional story of grief, love, healing and finding freedom. Reading about Andrew’s grief and addiction and the struggles he endured during his childhood was so heartbreaking to read but knowing he got through it and he fought it because he found his light (Kat) was truly something special. If love isn’t like this then what’s the point? The grief journey throughout this book was captured so well. Reading books like this are so inspiring because grief is a powerful and destructive thing. This book is for the people who feel lost in the darkness and to finding their way to the light… When you are lost in the darkness look for the light. It can be in the most unexpected places and even in people, just like Kat was Andrew’s light. The way Lana paces out her stories are truly perfection in my eyes and no one can tell me different.
QUOTES (CONTAINS SPOILERS)
Sometimes, I envied how he was still capable of love, even after getting a front row seat to the shit show of our parents’ marriage.
“Kat, please… I need you.” I don’t think I’ve ever said those words to anyone, but I mean it. Without her, I’m fucked.
“Having fun doesn’t mean that you’re forgetting him. You’re trying to move on with the new reality without him.”
“Night, Freckles.” It’s the first time the nickname slips out, but it feels right. I like the freckles on her face, they’re like a roadmap to her captivating green eyes.
I pretend not to notice, but lately, I’ve caught him looking at me like he doesn’t care about what else is going on around him—the place could be burning, and he wouldn’t budge unless I did.
Move on? Losing Elliot isn’t something I can move on from. My brother was the only person who understood me. How do I grieve someone like that? I don’t. I can’t. I just learn to live with the pain that comes with not having him around anymore. If taking pills is the only way for me to do that, then so fucking be it.
I feel like there’s a pit of darkness following me around, waiting for me to fall in so it can consume me.
They shouldn’t even be able to breathe the same air as her. I don’t think anybody should, even me.
I miss his warmth as soon as it’s gone, and I notice the way his hand flexes in the absence of mine.
Since I was fourteen, I’ve felt like there was this darkness latched onto me that I can’t escape. I’ve mastered the art of pretending it’s not there, but it always comes back to remind me it’s lingering. The shitty thing about your past is that it finds a way to follow you.
“It should have been me, not Elliot. It should’ve been me.”
Now, she has a piece of me no one else does. On one hand, it’s a relief, but at the same time, it’s utterly fucking terrifying.
“I had a nightmare. Usually, I take my pills when it happens, but when I went for the bottle, I thought of you.”
He doesn’t even know he mended a piece of me that was pleading to be fixed.
She’s the sun, and I’m the storm that’s going to swallow her whole if I get too close.
I never believed people came into your life for a reason, but maybe the universe gave me Chance and Hiro because it knew I would need them when I lost Elliot. They might not be my brothers by blood, but they are in every way Elliot was.
“I’ll always show up for you.” He says it with such certainty, I believe every word. Who knew six words could alter your brain chemistry so fundamentally?
I kissed Kat. Holy shit. I just kissed Kat.
She always smells like the inside of a candle store during fall.
There is absolutely no one like her. When I kissed her, it all clicked into place; I was just too stupid to accept that it’s been real for me for a while. I almost fall to my knees from my sudden revelation. I fucked up by not fighting for her once; I won’t make the same mistake again.
“I didn’t mean it, Kat. Of course the kiss meant something to me. You mean something to me.” Keep going. Stop being scared. “I broke the rule, Kat. I fell for you. Hard. We both know it hasn’t been pretend for a while. I let you in, and haven’t looked back. It’s humiliating how much of a hold you have on me.”
“I want you. I’m sorry it took me so long to realize it. I should have known when you’re the first person I wanted to talk to when I opened my eyes, or my mood solely depending on whether I see your smile that day. You’re my exception, Kat, and I’m ready to jump. Just please tell me you’ll jump with me.”
Having her in my arms just feels right. It’s exactly where she belongs, and now, I know I belong anywhere she is. Because I’m hers.
Kat finds the littlest things in life the most beautiful, which makes me find them beautiful too. She’s the first breath of fresh air you take after being trapped somewhere, or the first flowers that bloom after a gloomy winter.
You might not get to choose your family, but you sure as hell can grow up and create your own new one.
If I knew this was the life waiting for me on the other side of the darkness, I would have welcomed it a lot sooner.
Wherever she is, that’s where I want to be. Home isn’t a place to me: it’s her body. It’s her soul. It’s her smile. It’s her.
Grace showing up today was just a wakeup call that no matter how fast you try to run away from your past, it always has a way of catching up with you.
“This can’t… this won’t be my life, Andrew. Not again.”
“I’m saying look around you, Kat. You just wrestled pills out of my hand. That’s not the life you want, but it’s all I have for you right now. I gave myself too much fucking credit. As soon as shit hit the fan, I spiraled back to square one. I can’t promise this won’t happen again, and that makes me feel like shit.” He doesn’t have to tell me he’s hanging on by a thread: I can see it in his lost, dead eyes.
“I love you too much to drag you down with me, freckles. I have to do this on my own.”
I wish I could say my love for him faded away after closing the door, but it’s never that easy, is it? I can still feel the part of my soul that longs for him, and I fear that no matter how hard I try to ignore it, that feeling will never go away.
If living without her means protecting her, then I’ll go the rest of my life with a hole where my heart used to be.
“I don’t wanna be mad anymore, Dad.” I let out on an exhausted breath. I’m tired of being weighed down by my unhealed trauma. It’s getting too heavy to carry. For the first time ever, I let him bring me into his big arms and hug me tightly. An immense load lifts from my shoulders as I sink into him, and it’s not long before I feel my mom’s fragile hands wrap around the both of us. “We love you,” she whispers through her sniffles. The only thing missing here is Elliot, but younger Andrew craved this moment, even though he never admitted it to anyone.
“No one will ever be perfect, Mijo, but if you’re willing to wake up every day and try to be better than the one before, you’re already worthy of someone like Kat.”
“I don’t care about your past—I just want your future, if you’ll have mine too. I fucked up thinking you’d be better off without me, but I underestimated how lost I am without you.”
“The person I am only with you is the person I wanna be, Kat.
He opens up a velvet box to reveal the most beautiful emerald colored diamond I’ve ever seen. Even if he unveiled a paper ring, my reaction would be the same.
Of course I want him forever. I’ve never felt like I belonged anywhere, but I know my place in this world is wherever he is.
Long story short—we survived.
Sometimes, the guy really does get the girl in the end.
The grieving process in this book was done so well on both characters POV from Andrew losing brother and coping with childhood trauma and fighting falling into an addiction and getting help and kat struggling to stay away from her past and finally facing it i loved Kat and Andrew together so much it was one of the most heartwarming and heartbreaking books EVER and i love it I just felt super connected to the characters and i’m so sad and happy all at once

“I don’t care about your past—I just want your future, if you’ll have mine too. I fucked up thinking you’d be better off without me, but I underestimated how lost I am without you.”
“The person I am only with you is the person I wanna be, Kat.
He opens up a velvet box to reveal the most beautiful emerald colored diamond I’ve ever seen. Even if he unveiled a paper ring, my reaction would be the same.
Of course I want him forever. I’ve never felt like I belonged anywhere, but I know my place in this world is wherever he is.
Long story short—we survived.
Sometimes, the guy really does get the girl in the end.

Lana is becoming one of my favorite authors. I devoured Summer in Phoenix and this was nothing less. Her writing is so easy to digest and it’s so binge-able, I couldn’t put this down either.
Once again, this felt weirdly nostalgic for me and comforting? Lol. I really can’t explain why I get this certain feeling but I do. Kat and Andrew’s story was giving 90s rom-com and I LOVED IT. I loved the references of 80s film used here and the tension these two had for each other. Both of them were put in a position to take the lead of things and keep everything in and seeing them find that safe space within one other was so touching. They truly needed each other in their one way. Kat brought so much out of Andrew after loosing Elliot and Andrew slowed it down for Kat to enjoy her life.
The rain confession and boom box scene. GIVE ME MORE. Give me more.
Now I will say, I would have loved more things to have been more fleshed out. Such as:
- Andrew’s withdrawals
- Andrew’s uncle being his doctor and that dynamic
- Exploring more of Andrew’s dynamic with his father and how his family is coping
- Exploring more of Kat’s trauma responses, feelings toward her mother. Her grandmother’s feelings toward her daughter.
- Kat finding the pills and the confrontation. I would’ve like to see some high emotions instead of Kat just dipping.
These things would get mentioned but we never delved deeper and it was totally missed. It would’ve added so much more to this story, I found myself wanting more and waiting for it.

This is an interconnected standalone that follows Summer in Phoenix. If you have not read it you will get some spoilers. Even though you do not need to read it first but highly recommended.
Lana Vargas has a way with words. She brings these characters to life, the way you can be sucked into the book and feel like you are living it, it’s so unreal!
This takes place a few weeks after Summer in Phoenix. Andrew Cortes and Kat Harrison are the main characters and I love the dual POV. Andrew is going thru a whole life change and is dependent on prescribed medication. He does tend to over take some to try and suppress his emotions. Kat is his lifeline, even though he tries so hard to keep those feelings away. Cortes has a rule, never call a girl back for a second date, he seems to throw that rule away when he needs Kat’s help. I don’t want to get into to much detail to avoid any spoilers. Cortes has two best friends, Chance and Hiro who currently walk on eggshells but still try to bring the old Cortes back to life and when they notice Kat they instantly blended together. I love how Lana made Chance and Hiro and the plan they had to execute it all. Kat on the other hand is a girl that has been thru so much heartache and has yet let that stopped her from living and trying to become a better version from her parents. Kat as also suffered so much heartache that she is trying to find her own family in her world. This is a 5/5 fluff rating and 4.5/5 tear jerker.

I was an ARC reader for The re-release of "Summer in Phoenix", the first book in this series. I loved "Summer in Phoenix"! I knew I needed the second book to follow the rest of the story with the family members that were left in grief after the first book.
This second books follows Andrew, Elliot's brother, and Kat a month after the events in the first book. Kat is Andrew's flirtationship and almost relationship from the first book.
One of the things I love about Lana Vargas's writing is it is very real and raw! While there is a romance between the two main characters, they end up happy and in love. The journey they go through to get to that ending is full of heart break, grief, hurt feelings, and raw situations that strip the characters bare.
Andrew goes through being a shell of himself after the death of his younger brother Elliot. He takes to pills to numb the pain. The character ARC for Andrew in this book was *chef's kiss*.
I loves Kat's ability to be real and be there. Even after everything, she was there for Andrew. She had her own struggles and was just working herself to the bone. Exhausted and drained. Yet, she made it through.
This book is a truly a 5 star read. I gave it four stars just for a few errors. However, everyone is human and even authors have a few mistakes here and there. I highly recommend BOTH Summer in Phoenix and The Darkness That Follows Us!!

There's too many things I want to say (since I just finished the book and I am in love with all of the characters) but my fingers don't type as fast as my thoughts (sadly). First of all, I love the characters so so so much, I cant put it into words. They have this pull on you that makes you want to learn more and more about them as you go through the book, and then this pull that makes them stick with you even after. Second of all, THE SONGGSSS. The song choices are immaculate. My annotations are basically me screaming at each song that pops up because "that is so them" as i said in one of the annotations. The songs in the beggining of the chapters put so much more to the book than what you would think, and also, who doesn't love a good playlist. Lastly, there's so many emotions while reading this book like internally screaming at them being adorable, trying to not cry at the sad parts because everyone in your house is asleep, and not wanted to close the book but having to because it is 2 am and you have to go to school tommorow. But it was all worth it, because the characters are so easy to love and this book will bring you joy in so many ways and will leave you also wanting to have an Andrew or Kat in your life. In love in love in love, and if your contemplating on whether or not to read this book, you 100% should since you will fall in love with it. <3

I don't read romance books often, but reading this definitely makes me want to start. The characters the author built are complex and feel authentic, making them pretty relatable. Both main characters are dealing with their own traumas and trying to cope with their past.
.
I enjoyed how realistic this story felt. Life isn't always rainbows and sunshine, it can be harsh and cold. But through Kat and Andrew, readers are reminded of hope and the strength that love can bring out in people.
.
The characters go through many ups and downs, both on their own and as a couple - this adds to the authenticity. Every character in this story feels like an actual human being, they are flawed and imperfect. You root for these characters as you learn what makes them tick and you watch them grow.
.
I really enjoyed the writing, the dialogue felt very natural and true to the characters. The chapters shift perspectives between Kat and Andrew, creating an attachment to the mcs because you learn who they are at a deeper level.
.
This story is truly a great read and your perfect chance to support independent authors. This is @authorlanavargas ' 2nd published book ever, now that I've read both, I can see the growth of the author and the writing. Reading indie authors' books gives readers the rare opportunity to grow along with the author.

This read was quite interesting… Prefacing this to say, that I found this beautiful author on TikTok. I love how driven and thoughtful Lana seems to be especially when it comes to her writing.
Now on to the review: I am still quite new to the romance scene, so for me this book was such a slow-build in a rushed setting if that makes sense? I really enjoyed the fake dating trope, and then the characters seemingly falling in love with one another. It just feels like there are a lot of pieces missing (I do have to go back and read the first book before I can fully comment on this). There were times when scenes felt to be a bit rushed making it hard to follow at some moments.
Which then leads me to the point of more telling than showing. There was so much telling back and forth between the characters in certain scenes that could have just been detailed in a different way. It kind of took away for the characters for me.
Lastly, I really enjoyed getting to read this book, it raised awareness about those struggling with mental health and substance abuse addiction please continue to write!!

I would give this a 3.5 if I could. Not that I didn't like it. I actually enjoyed it a decent amount but it was kind of cliché and there wasn't much excitement. The story was told well and while I didn't get bored, it still could have had more excitement. I thought that with the title it would be a little darker and more dramatic. Kat was a 23 year old who had been abandoned by both parents at a young age and sent to live with her grandparents. Her grandfather died which left a hole in her life. Then there was Andrew, a struggling guy who had lost his brother and he had turned to pills to cope. After meeting, these two hit it off and had a sweet relationship. After being together for a few months some of their past demons come back and they decide to call it off to heal. The story skips a few months at a time for this part while Andrew gets therapy and Kat goes to live with a friend. The very end skips forward 10 years and gives a hea to all involved. Some language but not constant and it was also clean.

Lana, Lana, LANA! Girl!!!! You need to start sending tissues with every book because it should be illegal to make someone cry SO much! There is absolutely SO much I want to say about this book but I cannot even form the words? This was not your traditional love story! Yes it had so many rom-com vibes but it also had such a beautiful display of choosen family and friends that literally just love one another and want to see eachother succeed! This story healed so many parts of my inner child! Their was one conversation towards the end between Andrew and his dad that I literally felt my whole chest swell up, it was so relatable and healing!❤️🩹 They way the author brought back past characters in her last book and so perfectly wrapped them into this story, literally makes the reader feel like they are healing from losing someone as well. This story is so raw and beautiful and moving! I can’t stop raving about it!! I cannot wait to see what Lana Vargas has in store for future books!

The Darkness that Follows Us is a story about the power of love prevailing through all the bad, the hurt, and darkness.
In a dual POV, it follows twenty-three year old Andrew Cortes dealing with the recent loss of his younger brother, attempting to overcome his depression and addiction to pills. And twenty-three year old Kat Harrison battling with past trauma and the unresolved issues that have since stemmed.
What starts as a fake-dating trope, quickly accelerates into something more and Andrew and Kat realize that they have been each others light in their most-recent hard times.
These pivotal moments between Andrew and Kat will leaving you hopeful by the end of the book, that perhaps you, the reader, are capable of being loved even through all your flaws and darkness.
The 80s rom-com references, and discreet Taylor Swift musical metaphors adds a touch of light-heartedness that will having you turning the pages rapidly.

This is my first arc and i feel honored to read it before anyone. I honestly never like the second book to a connected series but this definitely did not disappoint !!
Im so glad we got dual POV and got to see how andrew coped with his brothers grief. I also love how we got to see bits of emory and how she was doing.
Andrew and kats love story had me giggling and kicking my feet. It was so beautiful how two people with childhood trauma helped heal and love one another.
“I used to think I got dealt a shitty hand in life because it was karma for something I did, but if someone like her can love someone like me, I’m the luckiest person to ever live.”
It was heart wrenching when elliot and emory didnt get the happy ending they deserved but i will forever be grateful that andrew and kat did <3
thank you lana for blessing us with two beautiful books!

THE PLAYLIST!!! I’m sorry but this was the best playlist I have ever seen in a book!!!! 🎶🖤
The song choices are perfect! Every song in the book matched perfectly to the scenes in the book!
Being immersed in a book never felt easier!
As a sucker for the fake dating trope, this one was truly one of a kind ✨

Lana, thank you for providing me with an arc of your second novel. I am so grateful and had such a beautiful time reading.
Release date: Tomorrow, April 13th!
This story does have spoilers from book 1, I have not read book 1 but was able to read easily and not feel left out as a lot of recap occurs throughout this book.
This book was written beautifully, emotionally, and truly I think so worth it. The background both our fmc and mmc come from stems from childhood abuse and trauma relating to alcohol and drugs. I truly loved the way the story was articulated and thought the pacing was done so well. I will most definitely go back and read book 1 as well as upcoming releases. Happy release day🫶
- Found family
- Dual POV
- Closed door spice
- Fake dating
- He falls harder
- Mental health rep (anxiety, depression, PTSD)
- Grief
- Addiction
- Substance usage (pills)

I was given an Arc copy in exchange for a review, and let me tell you, I'm so happy we got it earlier.
“No one will ever be perfect, mijo, but if you’re willing to wake up every day and try to be better than the one before, you’re already worthy of someone like Kat.”
I am in shambles.
It's hard to pick a favorite thing about this book. I loved the characters, the plot, the writing, and my lord, Kat and Andrew were everything. The love and care they have for each other is so beautiful.
I might add more later because this book literally took my breath away 😂
Thank you Lana, for this beautiful story. It hit home in more places than one. ❤️ (Also don't worry I did finish my essay 🤣)

This is amazing write again by Lana. The way she has with words is amazing. Can be a stand alone if you haven't read the Summer in Phoenix book. This book follows on after the passing of Andrews younger brother. Andrew and Kat. If you ever had someone pass you know how hard it is to move on day to day life. But you also know how bad it is to treat other around you. I love Kat. She's is a strong woman and just out right amazing for how she is and I can see why she's addicting to be around. Everyone needs a Kat. Come read this book and follow a story about Andrew and Kat and their journey through the aftermath.

I loveeed soo many things about the book. This is my first (but won’t be my only book) I’ve read from Lana Vargas. It’s the perfect combo of romance, some laughter, real life situations, encourages healing through grief, and the effects of family dynamics on the children. She even included a playlist and the details inside the book are beautifully placed. The Latinx representation in her book is much appreciated. The friends that become family aspect is something super relatable. I liked that it had alternating POV’s. It encompasses that it’s okay to seek help for mental health wellness in a very appropriate way.

“If living without her means protecting her, then I’ll go the rest of my life with a hole where my heart used to be”💔
This was the perfect follow up to Summer in Phoenix! Highly recommend reading SIP first but this one could be read as a standalone. The story follows Andrew and Kats journey of grief, healing and love. One thing I love about this series, is how real and relatable the characters and story felt while reading. Kat and Andrew really understood each other and how to support each other through life’s obstacles, so happy they got the happy ending! Also the Playlist was such a nice touch and enjoyed listening to them with the chapters! Excited to see what Lana comes out with next🫶🏼😍🥹✨

omg Lana has a way of making me laugh, sob, and scream all in a matter of minutes. the banter between these two WASO
SO FREAKING CUTE. I wanna protect these two with my whole heart omg. BUT THE ENDING??? i finally got my happy ending (i still cried like a baby) ugh i hate that i formed such an attachment to fictional characters. manifesting someone who’s obsessed with me the way Andrew is obsessed with Kat 😭😭

I loved, loved the ending I was hoping for to end like that.
I was given the opportunity to read the book before it released and I was not disappointed at all. I would have loved to know more about Kat’s past as to what happened when her mom left prior to going to stay with her grandparents it would have given it a bit more suspense to it but overall I was drawn to read from start to finish!

i loved the storyline but it was giving “ps i still love you” vibes and i feel like it skipped a lot without saying its skipping time¿ overall i love the plot of the book im here for the second chance romance
May 3, 2025
Both their stories hurt me but they’re so cute together. But I lowkey wanted to fight when Kat was basically testing him when she said about the kiss like girl what? Other than that still a cute story and to see how theirs went after Elliot and Emory’s story.
