"Vanessa lives life on her own terms -- one day at a time, every day to its fullest. She can't afford to think about whether she has the same fatal genetic condition as her older sister. After all, she has way too much to do, traveling the globe and showing millions of YouTube followers the joy in seizing every moment. But lately, life has been anything but pure joy, and travel has come to an abrupt halt. After her younger step-sister drops off an infant and skips town, Vanessa is housebound -- on mommy duty for the foreseeable future and feeling totally out of her depth. The last person she expects to help is her wickedly hot next-door neighbor, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows the guy. But the closer they get, the more she realizes her carefree ways and his need for a life game plan could never be compatible for the long term...not unless one of them is willing to take a drastic leap of faith"-- Provided by publisher.

Not Your Typical RomCom submitted by pamhockey25 on June 23, 2021, 11:59am This book deals with a lot of serious topics, (ALS, mental health - OCD/hoarding, abandonment, addiction, grief, loss)...but it's such a timely read. The main character, Vanessa, is a YouTube star who is living life to the fullest because she might develop hereditary ALS. Her travels come to a stop when her sister leaves her with her baby, and Vanessa steps up to care for her niece. Vanessa meets her hot neighbor, Adrian, and they grow closer and closer. The story is unexpected, and I definitely worth reading!
