Love Your Life was a fun and quick read typical of Kindella's usual style.

I absolutely loved the beginning of the book where Ava and Matt meet at the writer's retreat. It was fun and carefree and you felt like you were in Italy with them. The middle of the book drove me a little nuts. I get what Ava and Matt were trying to do by keeping their bubble and not rocking the boat but they did such a disservice to their relationship. They were acting immature and I just wanted to knock their heads together. There were several bright spots in the middle when they let their guard down which helped it from being too infuriating. Then I fell in love with like the last 70 pages of the book. Seeing the entire group come together the way that they did just brought a smile to my face.

I also loved Ava and Matt's personal character development. They both did a lot of work on themselves and pushed one another to do that. Kinsella writes her characters in such an open and honest way that you really get to know them and why they do the things they do and it helps you connect with the story so much more.
