The New Guy by Kathryn Freeman

5.0

While insta-lust, this is not your stereotypical insta-love story. Sam and Ryan are both equally complicated and diverse characters that had me hooked from early on as their layers were pulled back to reveal who they were. 

This book spoke to me on a level that was completely unexpected. The fear and anxiety that surrounds entering into something new after a previous betrayal is intense and often difficult to get around. So I really empathized with Sam at certain parts of the book. That being said, I also wanted to scream at her for not seeing how perfect Ryan was for her. Their connection and my desire to see things play out had me reading as fast as I could, even sneaking pages during my work day.
