Hate you, Maybe by Julie Christianson review



 I enjoyed returning to Harvest Hollow in Hate you maybe. I loved the fall setting as well as the enemies to lovers aspect. The banter between Sayla and Dexter was on point. I’m normally not a fan of work place rom coms but this one worked and I think it because they were coworker and equal.  I liked Dexter from the beginning but it took me a bit to warm up to Sayla but when I did I loved her and could easily relate to her. And I loved watching their relationship bloom.

One more made up Love Song by Jenny Proctor review

 


I loved Ivy from the moment I started One more made up love song. And after Once Upon a boy band Freddie to a little bit to warm up but once I did I loved his character. I was a sucker for the banter between them. I also enjoyed the fake relationship aspect of this one because Jenny Proctor is awesome at writing them. And I have to say I thought she handled what Ivy went through before book and the after in the book was tact and grace.  I feel like I’m the only person my age who never got the whole boy band fandom. But I still enjoyed this book.

Tastes Like Watermelon Moonshine by Audrey Colman review

 


I never thought a Lainey Wilson would inspired a book, but that's what happened with Tastes Like Watermelon Moonshine by Audrey Colman. Raegan Carter the heroine never thought her life would mirror a country song until it does. Raegan and her boyfriend Austin make a choice just before he leaves for baseball that changes both their lives as well as their walk with God. While this book is a second chance romance it is first and foremost a story of God's love, Grace and Redemption. 

 

 And even though the book has teen and young adult main characters this book is a story for everyone. I love that the author tackled a tough subject that rather or not parents and adults want to believe teens do struggle with, and my friends and I could have used a book like this when we were teens. I know I could have a used a Mrs. Rosa. This one also reminds all of us that we've all messed up a time or two and God's forgiveness and Grace will cover us if we ask for forgiveness. Our past doesn't define us God's love does.  Tastes Like Watermelon Moonshine wasn't an easy read but it is worth the read.
