From the Jump
by Lacie Waldon
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
OH MY HEART! If Lacie Waldon every stops writing books I am going to stop reading. (Okay that's a bit dramatic but like, I need these books in my life.)
.
From the Jump is pure delight and I enjoyed every single page. I am SO picky when it comes to romance novels, but Waldon has a way of hooking me and investing me deeply in her characters - and that character connection is what I love the most. I found all the characters in this book, even Simone, to be likable and relatable. The chemistry is so well done and aptly flushed out, and this chemistry is what made it hard for me to put down her first book, The Layover, and now her second book, From the Jump. Waldon also gives me a dose of wanderlust, and I love being able to travel in these stories and live vicariously through the characters.
.
This story has some of my favorite tropes, found family, forced proximity, and friends-to-lovers. I am a sucker for friends-to-lovers and the romance and rapport between Liv and Lucas is spot on and gave me all the feels. Honestly, I just had to finish this book ASAP - I didn't want to spend time doing anything else (and isn't that the best feeling when you're reading??).
.
Folks, for a light-hearted, swoony sweet read, don't pass this one up. Thank you to Putnam for the e-arc, this book releases July 19, 2022!
