Just for you es un romance juvenil perfecto para esos días de verano en los que se tienen ganas de leer algo fresco y ágil, ya sea en la piscina, playa, de paseo o en casa.

La historia de Violet me ha gustado mucho y era lo que necesitaba leer en estos momentos. Just for you habla sobre la importancia de las segundas oportunidades, del perdón y de las relaciones de amor, amistad y familia.

La historia de amor con Penn es una delicia, de esas que te dejan el corazón blando. Penn es muy dulce con Violet y en todo momento le respeta y espera antes de dar cualquier paso en su relación. La mistad de Violet con sus amigas Kara y Erica pasa por diferentes momentos, pero me alegra ver que las tres recapacitan y solucionan sus problemas. Y adoro la dinámica de la familia.

Si os gustan las historias de amor dulce, os la recomiendo. Como os he dicho se lee rápido y deja con ganas de más.

*Muchas gracias a la autora y editorial por la copia avanzada. Esta reseña es honesta y voluntaria.*

Just for you is a young adult romance perfect for those summer days when you feel like reading something fresh, whether by the pool, the beach or at home.

I really liked Violet's story and it was what I needed to read right now. Just for you talks about the importance of second chances, forgiveness and relationships of love, friendship and family.

The love story with Penn is a delight, one of those that leaves your heart soft. Penn is very sweet with Violet and respects her at all times and waits before taking any step in their relationship. Violet's friendship with Kara and Erica goes through different stages, but I'm glad that all three come to their senses and solve their problems. And I love the family dynamic.

If you like sweet love stories, I recommend it. As I said, it reads quickly and leaves you wanting more.

*This is my honest and voluntary review. Thanks so much to the author and the publisher for this ARC.*

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Despite being close to forty - I loved this book so much! This was by far my favourite YA sports novel for the year, with complex emotions and big topics covering family dynamics and friendships.

Violet has a lot of issues that I think most teenage girls has while navigating life, but is complicated with a 4 siblings, a absentee father who has re-entered her life and a friend who takes advantage of her goodness. Entering into her life is Penn - we all need a Penn in our life he is the perfect supportive boyfriend that Violet needs in her life.

Definitely a five star read for me.

This book was a sweet easy read.
A little bit of teenage drama and a little bit of first love.

I didn’t realise it was a high school romance going in but i still enjoyed it

This is the first book that I've read by the this author and it won't be the last. I really enjoyed this story and was hooked from the very first page. The story starts with Violet, a high school senior, who is dealing with a household of younger and annoying step-siblings, typical high school drama, and a bit of heartache left behind by an absentee father. I must say that I felt very connected to Violet's character and felt similar emotions as I was reading her story.

Of course, everything changes once she meets Penn, the hockey player from the school's rival team. Penn's character development truly shined throughout the storyline as he was the perfect romance interest for Violet. the romance between the two was very sweet and innocent, giving this story a nice but well-paced PG-13 rating. It would be great to see the two in future novels and possibly see how their college and adult careers panned out. If you like sweet high school romances, this would be a great addition to read. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
