5/5 stars ★★★★★
5 STARS!
Catch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann is my favorite book of the year so far. My husband even read it in one day, and it’s not a short book!
Maybe it’s the coming-of-age love story that made me enjoy this book so much. It could be the well-developed characters or the intense storyline at times. All I know is that I didn’t want this book to end. There were so many times that I laughed out loud, and I could tell exactly where my husband was in the story when he did the same. Max and Ella, the main characters, were friends as kids, torn apart by distance, and brought back into each other’s lives as teenagers. This is when most of the story takes place. Ella is the brooding teenager, and Max is trying to hold his family together.
I loved the quotes throughout the story, and I found myself looking up and listening to songs that were mentioned throughout the story. The ending was perfect and definitely not disappointing. I would love to see a sequel or movie made about this book. I haven’t read other books by Jennifer Hartmann, but I can’t wait to read them now.
Although this book is touted as a young adult book, I think it’s more of an adult book because of some mature parts of the book.
I gave this book five out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley, Bloom Books, and Jennifer Hartmann for my free copy. This is based on my honest review.
