a huge fan of Julie Johnson's writing, I feel like she's one of the undiscovered diamonds of the writing world, Her books are entertaining, funny, emotional, and just overall a great read, Each one has been different in content, and I'm so glad to see that trend continue with Not You It's Me.
The only thing that hasn't changed from one book to the next is the consistency with which she writes and captures my attention.
When I first started reading this book, I initially felt it was going to be a typical romance featuring a billionaire.
Here's what I thought would happen because I've read quite a few, Man and woman meet, they're smitten with one another, they immediately fall into bed, then deal with their emotional baggage, and finally float off into the sunset on a yacht.
Well I should've known this book would be different, After all, Julie wrote it, and she hasn't written anything "typical" yet!
I loved Gemma and Chase.
I could totally relate to Gemma's character, She's trying to find her place in the world and what she wants, All of her friends are settling down and she's thinking she wants to do the same, She's a little clumsy, but she's a gogetter, She'll go after what she wants, sometimes without thinking things all the way through, I really liked Chase too, Yes he was hot and swoon worthy, but it was obvious he cared for Gemma, no matter how brief their interaction.
He was honorable and charming, It was also clear he hadn't had the easiest time growing up, even if he did have a silver spoon in his mouth.
I liked how he was willing to do whatever to keep her safe, He's an alpha, but he's not shoving that down her throat, The two of them had some amazing chemistry, The kiss they shared that sparked something between them is proof of that, I liked how believable their relationship was, It might have developed quickly, but it didn't feel that way,
I think what I loved most about this book was the mixture of laughter, romance, and the twists.
I never knew what was going to happen next, and I loved it! It made for such a wonderful reading experience.
I couldn't put this book down and I was often laughing aloud or putting my hand over my racing heart.
There's so much more that makes this book amazing beyond Gemma and Chase, I loved Gemma's mother and her advice for her daughter, I both laughed my heart out at it and mentally cringed while picturing my mother doing the same.
I absolutely loved Gemma's friends, Those two were hilarious! I loved how they supported Gemma unconditionally,
Julie Johnson has really done a wonderful job with this book, My review in all honestly in no way does it justice, The magic of Julie's masterful story telling
skills can only be experienced by reading one of them.
If you're looking for a great beach read this summer, something to make you laugh and lift your spirits, or just a great story, this book is for you.
I can not wait to see what great story Julie writes next! Sunshine Stars,
Gemma Summers is a girl with secrets she just wants to forget, and do her job and create her art.
She doesnt get closed or attached to anyone because that would mean open up and show more about herself.
Until she meets Chase in a basketball game, and when their paths start crossing, the sexy billionaire also broken by his past, decides that he has to have her.
And hes going to be the one that will change her mind about dating,
But for how long can two broken souls resist when their secrets keep threaten to come out
This book was for sure a delightful surprise.
It was my first Julie Johnsons book, but will definitely not be the last, I loved how she grabbed a real life viral video and build an entire story from it, its amazing.
This was a sweet and funny romance, with enough drama to keep us on our toes and some emotional moments to leave us teary eyed in some occasions the perfect combination.
The writing style is flawless and this story flows so easily that when you realize you are already in the end of the book and begging for more.
If youre looking for the perfect romance book escape, this is perfect for you,
Rating: Stars,
Characters Development: Chase was an amazing hero to read, Honest, protective, a little bit alpha and a whole lot of sexy, he was extremely easy to fall in love with.
He didnt had the “powerful billionaire CEO vibe”, despite being one, as that part was a little pushed to the side, but a swoon worthy hero nonetheless.
Gemma was a sweet girl, but her “nowIwantyounowImnotsure” annoyed me for a while, Eventually I warmed up to her, especially towards the end, I cant wait to read Phoebes book, not only because she seemed awesome, but Im curious to see how her and Gemmas relationship will develop.
Steam: Some hot moments, but not extremely high on steam,
