Head Over Heels by Karla Sorensen
4.5

"I’ve never had a person before. Someone who’s mine. That I get to love and take care of. And God, you’ll probably regret it because I don’t even know if I’m good at having one, but you’re it, Cameron Wilder."

- Small town
- Opposites attract
- Black cat x golden retriever
- Broken elevator meet-cute
- He calls her duchess
- No breakup
- Dual POV

Premise: she runs away from a dressmaker in her mother’s wedding dress after panicking about her upcoming arranged nuptials to a childhood friend, gets stuck in a hotel elevator with a hot stranger, and they kiss… only to go their separate ways until she shows up in his small hometown and hires him to renovate a family house she was gifted on her 25th birthday.

The number one reason to read this book is 100% for Ivy’s character development. It was hands down my favourite part. She’s this rich, closed-off “black cat” who’d never let anyone in until Cameron. 

"Vulnerability was a curse in my upbringing. It was a flaw to be removed, something to be cut out with the neat clip of a blade." 

The way that both Cameron (the epitome of a loyal, selfless golden retriever) and the Wilders didn’t relent and slowly pushed past her wall and made their way into her life and heart was incredibly heartwarming. She didn’t think she was capable of love, and he showed her how easy it was for him to love her.

"I wasn’t trying to change who she was; I just wanted her to trust me with the parts she kept hidden."

Speaking of the Wilders, I adore this family so much 🥺. Be warned that you'll inevitably cry at the end because you're going to fall in love with them, too.

A final reason to read this book is for Karla’s writing because man, it was beautiful.

Okay, excuse me, I'm going to go read the next book in the series now!
