Life’s Too Short by Abby Jimenez

The story follows Vanessa Price, a vibrant, free-spirited travel vlogger who lives her life completely in the moment. Vanessa has a devastating reason for her "carpe diem" attitude: she carries a 50% chance of inheriting ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), the terminal illness that took both her mother and sister. Refusing to waste a single second counting down an uncertain clock, she travels the world and avoids long-term attachments.

Her chaotic life hits a major speed bump when her struggling sister abandons a newborn baby girl, leaving Vanessa as a sudden, overwhelmed single guardian. Enter Adrian Copeland, her next-door neighbor. Adrian is a buttoned-up, workaholic corporate lawyer who thrives on structure and control. When he hears a crying baby through the thin walls, he knocks on her door to help, kicking off a beautiful, messy "friends-to-lovers" journey.
