If It Makes You Happy
by Julie Olivia
Thank you so much to Berkley Romance for my digital ARC!!
I could never say no to a small town romance but when a book comes with the add on of a Fall backdrop in the gorgeous Vermont 90's AND the most adorable furry friend? I am so down for it. Reading this book gave me pure joy and such intense nostalgia, the small town characters are meddling but in the most precious way. Julie Olivia is a new to me author but I am so glad I found her because I really enjoyed her style of writing and the way she had given the characters a very realistic character arc’s, they are unapologetic and completely genuine.
The romance is just impeccable, it builds on a strong foundation of friendship and understanding and goes on to become something so very real and full of heart. I had a stupid big smile reading the book and I couldn't help but cheer for these characters, I love loved how she showed that men can be vulnerable and strong woman are not too much of a burden. It is beautiful, Michelle and Cliff are equally beautiful just as the entire story.
The small town is not only charming but will serve all the Fall vibes your heart desires and don't even get me started on that epilogue, I was a sobbing mess but like in a most happy/satisfied sort of way. It is an easy 5star for me!
