This sweet, cute and heartwarming story was just what I needed this past weekend. It was filled with hope, friendship, love and the importance of loving yourself. Congratulations to Melissa on her debut and I am so excited for the rest of the series!

Loved this Romcom
This was such a cute book that instantly captivated me from the meet cute backstage at a concert to the whirlwind romance. I loved that these were two flawed characters with a lot of heartbreak and how they healed together. The alternating chapters and POVs really made this book.

I can't say enough good things about this book! I absolutely loved every angle of it. The Liv & Ella relationship. Liv and Jax falling in love. but most of all, Liv falling in love with herself and becoming the person she was always meant to be. It's a beautiful book about love, friendship and family.
I can't wait for the next book. Definitely scoop this one up for yourself!

I seriously couldn’t put this book down. The way Melissa wrote just flowed beautifully. I loved this story! Liv and Jax had so much chemistry! Even though this had fade to black romance scenes you could still feel the heat between them. All the side characters made this book too. Everyone was so much fun. And I definitely saw a segway into another book! I loved the way Liv’s character developed and Jax definitely had you swooning! Such a sweet story!

Quick Synopsis: Liv is a successful bakery owner in Nashville, nearing 40 and recently divorced. To cheer her up post-divorce and get her out of the house, her friend brings her to a concert of a popular band. During their meet and greet, lead singer Jax takes a liking to Liv and so begins their love story!
The first half of the book was a HIT, I felt like I was reliving my teenage dreams of having one of the Jonas Brothers notice and fall in love with me at a concert (I was torn between Nick and Joe, sorry Kev).
I love a dual narration, so following Liv and Jax’s story through both of their eyes was fun! I will say, their romance did move a bit fast for me, to a point where it was a lot of ups and downs in a quick turnaround.
While at the surface level Home Is Where You Are might seem a bit too cheesy, but Melissa does include a high level of depth in this book including topics of miscarriage, death, drug abuse. I also felt like it was a good reprieve between a few heavier reads.
If you are a romance lover or a Hallmark movie enthusiast, this book is the perfect book for you – go follow @heymelissagrace and read this book!

There’s so many amazing things I can say about this book and the author, Melissa! This was the book I needed this week. This rom com story based in my favorite place on earth/my hometown, Nashville, entrapped me SO quickly. I messaged Melissa at chapter 6 and told her that my heart couldn’t handle her book, it was that good. I flew through this read. Everything Melissa writes about Nashville is spot on, especially all of the Ryman references. Feeling such a deep connection to the city definitely enhanced this reading experience. But that’s not all that makes this read amazing. Liv (a 37-year-old divorceé remaking herself and growing into her identity) and Jax (a budding rockstar with a heart full of love) are the type of characters you love to love. Their relationship brings you all the feels. I donut want to tell you more, so I donut give anything away, but I promise you’ll LOVE this book!! (iykyk re: donut)
