A review by bookish_brain1
The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

3.0

"You can't make people love you. But you can give the love you long for out to the world. You can be the love you wish you had. That's the way to be okay. Because giving love to other people is a way of giving it to yourself." I am really starting to love this author, I think this is the 2nd book of hers that I have read and she just does the human condition and stories of love and loss really well. It is barely 1 chili pepper spice, but it is such a funny and delightful story, you really don't mind. It isn't so much about finding love in others but about believing yourself deserving of being loved and how hard it is to let people love you sometimes. Because "love is something you do, something you generate, something you choose to do over and over." Like her other books, there are some darker themes and moments, but overall it is a quick, fun, enjoyable time.
