It's a Love Story by Annabel Monaghan

Go to review page

4.5

From a writing perspective alone, Annabel Monaghan is one of my favorite authors. She gives the reader the exact amount of story and emotion to make us fall in love and feel HARD for these characters. I really enjoyed It's a Love Story and the unraveling (or ravel-ing?) of Jane and Dan's story. I was swept up in their love story that I had a hard time putting it down. I highly recommend!

Thanks to NetGalley and Putnam Books for the advanced reader copy.

 “Every time you have to be brave, you get to be a little braver next time.”

There is a reason that Katherine Center is a must-read for me. She is brilliant, and this may be one of her best yet. Katie and Hutch are so insanely likable, and I loved watching their love story unfold. The emphasis on self-care and self-care was also deeply moving for me.

In truth Katherine fashion, there is a heartwrenching, emotional storyline that will bring tears to your eyes, as well. I love that there is always so much more to Katherine’s characters and this book was no different.

I highly recommend adding this to your TBR and picking it up when it releases on May 20, 2025!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
