Love Scenes
by Bridget Morrissey
Pub Date: June 22
I am admittedly biased, a big fan of Bridget Morrissey, and Love Scenes is a perfect example of why. Her previous books, What You Left Me and When the Light Went Out, were lovely, emotional, fabulously crafted works and, in those respects, Love Scenes is no different. Those similarities aside, Morrissey’s adult debut knocked it out of the park in different ways. There is a level of quip and quirk in Love Scenes that feels incredibly authentic and simultaneously ripped from all of our favorite romcoms – a balance that is incredibly difficult to strike.
There is a comfort in this enemies to lovers story that digs almost as deeply into complex family dynamics as it does the main characters, lovable but struggling Sloane and former trouble-maker Joe. There is great chemistry between all of the characters – who manage to be strongly developed in service of the larger story, no east feat in romance novels.
Love Scenes is a perfect escape for lovers of traditional romcoms, Hollywood stories, and heartwarming character growth. I highly recommend for lovers of Beach Read, The Ex Talk, and The Hating Game.
