Today it is my turn on the blog tour for Love, Julie by Jamie Anderson
📚 Book Review 📚
Love, Julie by Jamie Anderson
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
Once, Julie dreamed of a life filled with love and laughter. Now, in her mid-forties, she faces a starkly different reality. She's single, lonely, and reeling from breaking her hard-earned sobriety in front of her family and friends.
Opting for self-recovery over romance, Julie dives into planning her best friend Kate's wedding. However, sharing this task with the irritatingly cheerful best man, single dad Luke, proves to be an unexpected challenge.
As Luke's persistent kindness chips away at her icy exterior, a friendship forms, stirring a longing she'd sworn to suppress. But with self-forgiveness as her biggest hurdle, and her past ready to sabotage her future, can Julie confront the shame and trauma that have darkened so much of her life and find the courage to love again? Or will her demons shatter both her and Luke's hearts in the process?
My Opinion
I took part in the cover reveal for this and since then I have been eager to read this book. Whilst I originally read the blurb for this, I went into this without really knowing what the book was about.
Jamie Anderson has written the present tense in the form of letters whilst allowing the reader to discover the events of the last year through the rest of the book. For me this was a very interesting way of telling a story but it was very enjoyable. With such an eye-catching cover this book just drew me in. Jamie Anderson shows that it is okay to ask for help and just how difficult it can be to stay sober in the modern day. This was such a moving story.
Rating 4/5
