When I'm with You by Samantha Brinn

emotional hopeful medium-paced

5.0

One road trip. Two weeks. 

On the outside, Julie Parker has it together but no one really knows how much she is struggling. That is, until Asher Hansley. Asher sees beyond her public persona and truly sees ๐™๐™š๐™ง. Heโ€™s determined to bring back some joy in her life and show her that itโ€™s okay to not be perfect. Another thing heโ€™s about to show her? They are so much better together.

This book was incredible and absolute perfection. I loved everything about it and could not put it down once I started. I did not expect to feel so many emotions, but boy did I. I cried. I laughed. I smiled uncontrollably. I was stupidly giddy. I felt it all and Samantha did that. She truly gave us a beautiful story and two absolutely amazing characters. Julie and Asher complimented each other so well and became each otherโ€™s best friend. The way Asher was there for Julie and provided a safe space for her was so special. He made my heart happy and made it melt with his thoughtfulness. Then the way Julie was there for Asher? Gosh, was I an emotional mess in the best way. 

Thank you so so much to Luna Literary and Samantha Brinn for the arc ๐Ÿ’•
