Before We Were Us by Denise Hunter
5.0
This book makes me so happy! Definitely one of Hunter's best (and that's saying something).
When I started reading it, I panicked for a mo' that I'd done my usual: start book 2 or 3 in a series without having read book 1. It felt like I came into the middle of a story already happening (which, granted, is true); I also hadn't read the back-cover copy in a hot minute, which would have clued me in as to what the plot and conflict might be. LOL. So there's that.
Once I figured that out, I was hooked on both the characters and the story. Even when the MCs annoyed me a bit, it fit in with the story and how they might be feeling/reacting to plot events. And everyone needs a Jonah Landry in their lives, truly. #swoon
Fans of Hunter's other books, especially the Riverbend Gap and Bluebell Inn Romance series, will undoubtedly enjoy this read.
A very, very good read, and a perfect way to finish out the summer.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
