Jo Quinn and Hunter Cleary the women that you are!!! Katie Duggan is simply the best at creating whole characters that you can't help but root for. I loved them both so much. Jo's journey to leave behind her toxic workplace is so relatable, getting to read her dreams coming true was so heartwarming. Each aspect of the girls' characters was so well researched and written. They're my babies end of story!
Back to Me is the perfect example of a second chance romance that doesn't rely on the past to push the current relationship forward. Each of the flashbacks came at the exact right time in the story to understand them more. And they were roommates!!! Hunter's pillow definitely heard some things 😳 I think their romance was so heartfelt. Jo learning to love after the traumatic end of her engagement and Hunter journey with her sexuality and hateful family situation had them come together (😉) and have such impactful conversations. If you can't tell, I loved their romance so much!!!
Read this if you like second chance romance, roommates, fat + midsize representation, following your dreams, love stories for everyone, dancing around your living room with someone you love.
