THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"A hilarious, tender, and altogether life-affirming gem of a book." —Emily Henry, bestselling author of Beach Read
A brilliant and touching romantic comedy about two polar opposites, one adorable dog, and living every day to its fullest.
When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted. But after her half sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby daughter, life goes from "daily adventure" to "next-level bad" (now with bonus baby vomit in hair).
The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua. Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We had to keep the tissues handy while reading Abby Jimenez’s powerful and poignant romance. The book’s heroine, Vanessa, is starting to show early signs of ALS, a disease that has ravaged her family. She’s determined to live life to the fullest while she can, but her plans are cut short when she takes custody of her addict sister’s newborn. Workaholic Adrian can see his neighbor struggling with single motherhood, so he helps Vanessa out with small chores; what he doesn’t expect is that he’ll fall in love or reevaluate his life priorities. Life’s Too Short is a deeply emotional read. But don’t worry—Jimenez always delivers a Happily Ever After.

Wow
Words cannot describe how good this book was.
Love !
Let me tell you life too short is what started my addiction to Abby. Her writing is so beautiful and the fact that the men in her books are a little bit similar to her real man it’s so romantic. I love her books.
Fun rom com!
What a great book! Vanessa is a free spirited travel blogger watching her sister’s infant baby Grace while Adrian is a strait laced controlled lawyer. After a hellish night of the baby crying uncontrollably, Adrian helps Vanessa and sparks instantly fly. They develop a friendship, based on the fact Vanessa says she doesn’t date (thinking she will develop ALS). But of course, feelings develop. Loved the back and forth showing their feelings while “thinking” the other doesn’t reciprocate those feelings. Loved the talk of medical chronic illnesses and how to affects not only the life of the person with it, but everyone around them. Overall loved 4.5/5⭐️
