A review by sarahm96
You, with a View by Jessica Joyce

4.0

  • Lord Huron is the best 
  • Because I’m a contrarian, it is entirely possible to have more than one love of your life 
  • Peloton classes are no joke, in Noelle’s defence 
  • So these two definitely wanted to bang in high school, they just hid behind insults & derision instead
  • The mystery of Gram & Paul is fun 
  • Not to be stereotypical, but I’m not sure an elderly man would have a soft top Bronco…
    • Now, a 30 under 30 person would probably have a Bronco 
  • Oh Paul, you adorably devious old man 
  • Also, you know Theo is an absolute sucker for Noelle because she has a nickname 
  • Dimples & money are a dangerous combination 
  • Okay Jessica we need to pump the brakes on this “dimple popping” descriptor because I’ve already had to read it too many times. I’m on page 54…
  • Betty the bronco 🥹😍
  • Boners for Broncos isn’t a horrible band name 
  •  I can’t wait for Theo to express his love & pining for Noelle 
  • Road trip tiiiiiiiiime 
  • This is going to be good
  • Well Theo’s dad sounds like a garbage person 
  • There better be some good smut in this book or I will throw my ereader across the room 
  • Dresses are an excellent reason not to wear pants 
  • *sings* there’s wine & sexual tensioooooon 
  • I feel a one bed scene happening 
    • It better be fucking good
    • Emphasis on the fucking 
  • “We’re not the same people we were in high school” really sounds like “now I can stop pretending I hate you” 
  • I think I love Thomas 
  • Oh Theo 
    • The levels of pining are lethal 
  • I really love Paul 
  • Oop Theo’s gone into protector mode 👀👀
  • We do love being told to take our pants off in a bossy tone 
  • McAngsty is an A+ nickname 
  • Oh yes because “look but don’t touch” always goes so well when there’s like 10 years of built up sexual frustration 
  • “I saw your Tic Tac” 🥹🥹
    • Paul must be protected at all costs 
  • We need a Paul fan club 
  • Cheeky cheeky Theo 
  • 12/10 for that kiss 
  • Oooooooooh it’s one bed time!!!!!
  • I am LIVING 
  • Theo could you at least have your big sad with Noelle & Paul instead of being all dark & morose about it like come on my dude 
  • Can we please give Jessica Joyce all the awards for not mentioning dick size? It might be coming (ha ha) during the actual sex scenes but there has not been a singular peen measurement comment which is fucking delightful 
  • Paul is the sneakiest & I love him 
  • This is so fucking cute I’m dying 
  • Also as a lover of travel, this book really speaks to my soul 
  • Not a fan of this “dickmatized” business 
  • Aaaaaand now we’ve mentioned the size of the peen *sigh* 
    • I was so hopeful 
    • Okay that wasn’t awful actually 
  • Thomas kills me 
  • Paul absolutely knows what’s going on 
    • He’s a smart man 
    • & these two are not subtle 
  • This book is really a love letter to grandparents & it’s so heartwarming 
  • If Sean ever tried to kiss me awake I would punch him in the mouth 
    • You can’t consent while you’re asleep, regardless of relationship status 
    • It’s a no from me 
  • “You’ve been downright cheerful” is the best backhanded compliment 
  • These notes are really just me being obsessed with Paul 
  • This is another book where the third act breakup is going to hurt like hell 
    • Romance really is its own form of masochism 
  • Do not love this going to the psychic idea 
    • Nope nope nope 
  • I sort of take it back
    • Flor had good vibes 
  • “I don’t want to be done with this at all” 
    • Goodbye 
    • I have simply ceased to exist 
    • This Tell Me a Secret game is actually really cute 
  • Let’s see how these two fuckwits mess this up 
  • The two of you have been half in love with each other since high school why is falling in love so surprising 
  • Theo you absolute nincompoop 
  • I would absolutely read a prequel about Noelle’s parents 
  • Alright these two need to sort their shit out before I do it for them 
  • Wait hold on 
  • We have a man who is apologizing 
  • Oh no there’s photos help 
  • “This is the way I fell in love with you” 
  • Goodbye 
  • I have ceased to exist 
  • 12/10 for proposal 
  • This book was so sweet
