Real Kind of Love by Sara Rider

5.0

I LOVED this book. Like so much. I'll try to make a coherent review at some point because this was amazing. For now, I'm off to pick up book two.

Update 7/11/19 - Here's the review I posted on my blog at the beginning of June:

The first in her Books and Brews series, I found myself sinking into the world and the characters Rider created with some serious intensity. Literally as soon as I finished Real Kind of Love, I went and bought the sequel, Make Me Fall. But Real Kind of Love was such a great fake dating book. First of all, I adored the family dynamic within Clem’s family. I loved how the overbearing nature of her family was handled. And I really loved the way Clem and Jake fell in love. Plus, it was so cool to see Clem’s career as an audiobook narrator. And don’t get me started on how swoon worthy Jake’s big fix-it moment was. I do think this book would have benefited from more pages, but I could just want to spend more time with the characters.
