![SET ON YOU — ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
“[T]his book explores the nuance—the ‘in-between’—that ‘self-love’ is not a tangible thing you achieve and hold on to forever. Loving oneself all day, every day is an individual journey, with vastly different outcomes for everyone.”
As soon as I read that in @amyleabooks’s author’s note, I knew I was reading something special. And SET ON YOU was, in fact, incredibly special and I already know will be one of my favorites of 2022.
This book meant so much to me as someone who shared so many of the same characteristics (including the same mix of ethnicities) as Crystal, and so much of this book spoke to me on a level that I certainly never expected to find in a book. I never, in a thousand years, would've thought I'd one day get to read about someone like myself in a rom-com; see someone like myself as the main romantic interest and lead character.
And representation aside, this is just such a fantastic rom-com and romance. Amy managed to perfectly capture all the best parts about falling in love with someone who becomes your best friend—she perfectly captured that butterfly-inducing feeling of knowing a person and simultaneously thinking they’re the absolute best and funniest person and also being wildly attracted to them. The tenderness, the earnestness, but also the chemistry and fun—it’s all there. And if you’re wondering if it delivers in terms of steam? YUP. 🛁🛁🛁
Please do yourself a favor and pick up SET ON YOU immediately. I really can’t begin to articulate just how much this book meant to me and all of the ways that it was so fantastic, so I encourage all of you to read it and see for yourself.
Thank you @berkleyromance @berkeypub for the eARC!
