What I read: Just Like Home by Courtney Walsh
Why I picked it up: Finishing up this series!
How I read it: On Kindle Unlimited staying up way too late last night but finishing super quickly.
What it’s about: Charlotte visits Harbor Pointe for the first time at her only friend’s funeral which touches her deeply. As the principal ballerina in the Chicago Company her life has been about ballet since before her first professional job at age 8. Now she’s thinking she wants to do something different, like take over her friend’s dance studio in a town she’s only read about in letters. While planning a tribute recital, she becomes friends with Cole who introduces her to all of the firsts she never had.
What I liked: I really liked Cole – he was the first person to see Charlotte for who she is rather than what she could do for him – and he seemed rather genuine, I’d love to be friends with them!
What I disliked: Her mother was the worst – the woman who was supposed to be the first one to show Charlotte what love was failed spectacularly and never redeemed herself. Also the cover design change for this series is not my favorite – the others are so beautiful and this one is so ordinary.
Genre: Chaste love story, small town, finding oneself, grief.
Rating & Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and definitely – this one absolutely stands alone.
