kaytrain71 's review for:
Christmas in Coconut Creek
by Karissa Kinword
Wow , wow. I was given an ARC review for my honest opinion, and I feel like this book put me through the 7 stages of joy.
Something I adore about this book, and Karissa's writing in general, that really sets her apart from other romance writers, is that both love interests have a little thing I like to call EMOTIONAL MATURITY. As a woman in her 30s, I get so sick of miscommunication and people who refuse to talk and just stew. 3rd act break up? Karissa has never heard of her. Walking in on someone "cheating" and misunderstanding and running away? Karissa says thank you, NEXT. It feels so much more REAL and it's easier to escape because I'm not spending the book frustrated as all fuck.
The banter was FANTASTIC. I started highlighting everything that made me laugh out loud, and it soon became ridiculous how much I was highlighting. I'm a sucker for good dialog, and this was top TIER.
Chapter 39 is some of the hottest shit I've ever read because I've been in that exact situation and fuck was it raw and unscripted and real AF. It made me ACHE deep in my chest and then tear up moments later because I know these feelings all too well and she hit the nail on the head.
Karissa doesn't just write books, she writes an EXPERIENCE.
P.S. I may have screamed a little when I realized we are getting the other members of delta. I'm a whore of Tyler already. I can tell. I can fix him. Or...make him WORSE.
