Love and Other Mistakes by Jessica Kate
4.0
Love and Other Mistakes by debut author Jessica Kate was a nice romance about love, second chances and the weaknesses of the human being.
I was so glad for the chance to read and review this book, whose cover immediately caught my attention and it didn't fail my expectations.
Probably, after having read the synopsis, I was expecting something more light and funny, but this novel has a deeper storyline and the characters sound so real and their stories well intertwined, that it positively surprised me.
The story starts following Natalie, who has been dumped by her fiancé weeks before their marriage, which has inevitably destabilized her life. So, when she decides to come back home some years after, the last thing she's expecting is to run into her ex, Jeremy, who is back in town too. And he's a single dad.
Meanwhile, we meet Natalie's parents, Mike and Steph (Jeremy's brother and sister-in.law) and Lili (Jeremy's niece and Mike and Steph's daughter) and along the way, we can observe how the author describes their flaws and the dynamics of their relationships, in a never judgemental way.
I would be happy to recommend to anyone who appreciates some drama, real characters, and wants to read a well-written debut novel.
