Catch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann

5.0

OK - Just so we’re clear, 5 stars is absolutely not enough. ♾️ stars is more accurate. 

I really didn’t see how Jennifer Hartmann could top my love for Still Beating. BUT then this book slid onto my kindle. 

I am obsessed with every aspect of this book. It’s raw, emotional, heartbreaking, hard to read at times, suspenseful at times, loving, heartwarming, absolutely will make you sob but will also make you laugh and smile as well. 

I don’t even know where to even begin - but if you’re thinking of picking up this book & you have triggers, please check trigger warnings first. There’s a lot in this book & protecting your mental health is most important.  🫶🏼

Ella & Max’s banter at the beginning is actually book is actually the best - the sarcasm is hilarious and i was loling at some of Ella’s remarks back to Max. 

I adored the way Max just knew she was it. He protected her, stood up for her, loved her, and was the constant she needed in such a hard time in her life. 

I hated McKay from the first page, i’m not going to lie - his character arc was….. just downhill from there. 

Brynn & Kai are just wonderful. I’d like them to have their own book next - JUST SAYING. 

i will actually probably never recover from this book. It was utter perfection & I will absolutely be running to the bookstore on Tuesday to buy a physical copy & probably reading it again. It’s one of those books you wish you could read again for the first time. 🫶🏼

👏🏼 STANDING O FOR JENNIFER HARTMANN. THE QUEEN OF WRECKING MY HEART BUT MAKING SURE SHE GLUES IT BACK TOGETHER BEFORE SHE LEAVES. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
