So Into You by Kathleen Fuller
3.0
**Thank you so much to Thomas Nelson Publishing and NetGalley for giving me an ARC of So Into You in exchange for an honest review. These thoughts are entirely my own.**
So Into You was a fun read that tackled difficult subject matter in a meaningful way. However, I did have a few problems with it.
I really enjoyed each of the problems the characters face in their personal lives, but there was a LOT of secret-keeping that was not fun to read about. I knew there would be a huge fight between a bunch of the characters because of the secrets, and that was a little stressful to say the least.
Though the book dealt with meaningful subject matter like addictions and anxiety, I feel like there were quite a lot of shortcuts within the book when talking about these issues. I think a lot of the characters’ deep struggles were resolved way too quickly and neatly, especially given the amount of characters and their struggles.
Speaking of the amount of characters, So Into You has at least 4 POVs, which meant the character depth was questionable at times. It took me out of the narrative, too, because sometimes I didn’t catch when the POV switched. In my opinion, Britt and Hunter’s POVs read quite similarly, too.
I did enjoy that it didn’t have spice, and the love stories were cute (although I don’t know how I feel about the ending). I liked the Christian aspect, too, but it felt like an afterthought. I would be really engaged, and then a faith-based part would come up, and I would be taken aback because I forgot that it was technically marketed as a Christian book.
So Into You was a fun read, and I enjoyed the plot, but I think it just tried to do too much. Great ideas with meh execution.
