The Apple Tree by Jewel E. Ann is the second book in her Sunday Morning series. It’s a small town, age gap, single dad, forbidden love romance that had me feeling every emotion right along with the characters.

I was completely obsessed with this book at the halfway point. I love Eve’s rebel heart as she finds her way in the world. Grandma Bonnie is definitely one of my favorite parts of this story and I can’t get enough of the special relationship she and Eve have. Josh is just the most adorable little boy. And how can you not be hot for teacher in this one? I felt like I was on a roller coaster of emotions throughout this book, but I spent most of it with a little grin on my face while reading.

I love the song titles listed alongside each chapter number. I absolutely made a playlist of the songs and really reminisced with some of them. And I enjoy all of the 80s references. Seeing Dirty Dancing in theaters? I’m so jealous!

I discovered and fell in love with Jewel E. Ann’s writing with Sunday Morning, the first book of this series. I just adore her writing style. I think I highlighted at least half of this book because so many lines are just perfection. I cannot wait for the next one for Gabby’s story.
