Love, Julie by Jamie Anderson
3.5
Love, Julie follows Julie in the fallout of breaking her sobriety streak at her brother and best friend’s engagement party.
The books starts off with Julie on her way to her first AA meeting after falling off the bandwagon. Luke is also at the AA meeting as support for his friend. From there, we follow them as they co-plan Ben and Kate’s wedding as a favor, and for Julie, a way to prove to them that she’s more than her addiction.
My favorite parts of this story had to do with Julie’s recovery and the steps she took to better herself. There’s always something to be said for vulnerability and grit, especially in such a flawed FMC. Luke was a fresh of breath air, even if like Julie, his constant positivity was a bit too much for me in the beginning. But his softness and kindness melted my own cold heart so it’s no surprise he softened Julie as well.
I think the characters felt younger than they were and it kept throwing me off, especially with Julia’s alcoholism. It wasn’t anything too major but it’s what I kept coming back to in my mind as I was reading it.
