Funny and cute

This was a funny story. I loved the sibling rivalry. I understood the mental health issues and OMG died laughing over the pranks. Ima sad this is the last book because I need to know what happens to Cooper. This was a funny series and I might need a Crusty Nut tee shirt

I love Pippa. I have never laughed while reading the way I do at her books. I actually had my head in a series so it took me a bit to get to this book. It was totally worth the wait until I could appreciate it. I didn’t know what to expect from Tille Jean and Max, but seriously these were the characters I didn’t know I needed to read about.

I love going to Shipwreck and visiting old friends, and that’s what it feels like when you read a Pippa Grant book. It feels like you are spending time with your friends, you laugh with them, cry with them, and just keep falling in love with them.

Pippa Grant gives us a story with everything, she is a 1-click author for me, with a guarantee of a good time no matter what.

We have met Tillie Jean before and loved her sass, in this story we get to see even more of her layers. We get to see her love for her family, friends and her town. We also get to see her journey with Max a pitcher who doesn’t know his own worth. The question is can TJ help Max see what we all see?

This is really a no brainer, if you want to read a solid story with laughter, heat and heart then stop what you are doing and read this book. It’s Pippa Grant doing what she does best!

I laughed and Secondhand embarrassment was definitely felt

It was a funny book, I’m not gonna lie. I love Tillie Jean and how she looks at life. I love how the author wrote about the town and how connected they all where. I even liked the gosh blessed goats (you gotta read to understand) but man it felt like the beginning dragged on and the. All the sudden sped up and end felt so hurried and unfinished. I read this without reading the first 2 books and it seemed ok, I didn’t need a lot of backstory to be able to read it and what I did need to know the author made a good effort to put it in the book. I wanted more and yet the next book didn’t have it. It was an ok book but not one I need to buy for my library.

Trouble Jean

Tillie Jean is the star of this book! She is fabulous and has the reader yearning for her HEA from the start. Max is also easy to love, but TJ steals the show for sure! #glitterbomb

This was a slow burn story that really focused on all kinds of relationships. The connection, or lack there of, with family and friends is a major theme. It also discusses heavier topics like anxiety and personal demons that can change everyday life. Mental health is an important storyline!

Another home run, 5 star read from Pippa Grant!

(Not Quite) Enemies to Lovers

Once again another well written, wonderfully hilarious love story. I have loved everything I’ve read by Pippa Grant and I’m starting to think I might have a new favorite modern author!
