A romance very in the vein of People We Meet/You and Me on Vacation by Emily Henry. Josie and Zac have a lot of platonic history. They've been friends since school, even roommates at uni. Josie even threw his engagement party! It's been a few years and there is a distance between them much further than the physical Sydney to Newcastle. A work opportunity sees her relocating to him and maybe this is their chance to reconnect.

Love, Just In was quite a lot heavier than I expected. I did really enjoy the book but I would recommend caution to anyone who struggles with health anxiety in particular. There is also reg lar discussions of a fatal car crash. Both main characters have trauma and flaws. 

It is lovely to have a book like this set in Australia. As an Aussie, I feel like I mostly get local mysteries, historical fictions and literary novels. It is exciting to get an approachable summer read romcom style story.
