I totally agree with you! It’s not a literary masterpiece by any means, but for me it was a really enjoyable read and I couldn’t put it down at all. The story really takes you in and even if Evelyn is not relatable, she’s definitely an interesting character. Also, with all her brutal honesty about herself, bad sides and all, I don’t think she was meant to be relatable at all.

Evelyn got me started with T.J.R., but Malibu Rising has my heart, so maybe check that one out too?

Ooh I’ll add that to my list for sure, thanks for the rec! I think I just loved all the different characters in her world. It was so far fetched from an average girl and average boy fall in love type story that it was so intriguing.

It is different, that’s for sure! But I think that’s why many like it so much - it’s an easy read, but not a stereotypical romance story.

Daisy Jones and the six , Malibu Rising, 7 husbands , and Carrie Soto is back are all in the same Universe. For example, Carrie Soto made an appearance in Malibu Rising.

She seems like a totally bad ass. I haven’t read Carrie Soto is back. I’ve read 7 husbands, Malibu Rising and I’m currently reading Daisy Jones and the six.

I can already tell I’m going to finish it tonight or tomorrow.

These are the four books of hers I’ve read and I really enjoyed all of them.

I’m also currently reading DJ&T6! Can’t wait for the series!

I just finished "Carrie Soto" yesterday after having started it in December. It took me a lot longer to finish reading than the other 3 books you mentioned. Ultimately, I liked it, but I didn't find the tennis easy to follow. I loved the other three books though.

I’m looking forward to that book. I’ll look past the tennis stuff like I did when I read Apples never fall by Liane Moriarty

It was a good book, but I’m not really into sports so I found it hard to get interested in the tennis aspect (which is a significant theme in the book). I’d still say it’s my least favourite of the four, but it was still good.
