More With You

This book is a brilliantly crafted, devastatingly beautiful love story. It's been added to my top reads of 2022 list.

Erin Spencer's first book, co-written with Emma Sable, The Yes Factor was a huge hit for me. I loved the story and the writing. So when I found out Erin was writing another book, I was here for it. Of course, I didn't know what I was getting myself into.

I got myself into a lot. My heart was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster, but it was worth every moment.
If you love good storytelling, a love story that will have you swooning and leaving your heart battered and bruised but also hopeful. Definitely make sure you grab this book.

Summer and Ben are almost the opposite of each other but the same. Both struggling to find their place and break out of the trauma their parents inflicted on them. Just when things are starting to heat up, a bombshell is dropped, and in walks Grace, Ben's daughter. Watching Summer work through her emotions and come out the other side and build a relationship with Grace was just beautiful.

I loved how the story is told from Summer's point of view with journal entries from Ben to give us an insight into him and his thought processes. And this worked really well for the audiobook narration too. The family family aspect of the story really hit me in the feels. Knowing that this story is in part about Erin Spencer's life adds to the depth of the story.

Speaking of the audiobook. Oh, my goodness. Ava Erickson and Zachary Webber were the perfect choices to bring this story to life. Ava obviously carries the bulk of the story and does so spectacularly. And Zachary, his portions were so beautifully and almost delicately performed. They definitely elevated this story for me...even when they broke me. The mark of an excellent performance.
