“It’s always been real for us.”

In a Rush by Kate Canterbary

When I finished reading In a Jam by Kate Canterbary in July, I ordered the second book in her Friendship, RI series as quickly as I could. I was so pleased with Canterbary’s style that I knew I wanted more of it. While I four-star loved In a Rush, it paled slightly in comparison. If In a Jam was a 4.5 rounded up, In a Rush is a 4.25 rounded down. Which is not a huge difference, but so much was the same between the two books that I couldn’t help but compare them to one another and while it all still worked a treat for me, Emme […]

This was an ARC sent to me by the author. My opinions are my own, and I loved the book so much that I pre-ordered a copy as soon as I’d finished reading it.

She’s devastated, and what’s worse, he’s a groomsman in the wedding of her best friend (to whom […]

“Leave it to you?” “Yeah. I’ll take care of it for you.” A small smile broke across his face. “Wife.”

Sometimes I get really in my head about a book and lose the ability to string words together that convey my thoughts and feelings. Everything I’ve tried to write about In a Rush sounds overthought and boring, so I decided to go with the vibes the book brings to the function. The function being your reading place of choice. In a Rush leads with big marriage of convenience vibes that mask a strong “it’s always been you” core. Ryan has no subtlety when it comes […]
