Love Unscripted by Tina Reber
I have had this book on my “to read” list on goodreads for a
very long time. I pushed Love Unscripted
to the very top when all the stars were aligned perfectly. First it came available at the library, then
I heard about an amazing author event in Nashville (a mere 3 hours away from my
home in Birmingham) and Tina Reber was going to be there! I started reading it the week of the
event. When I had around 100 pages left
I was so in love with the characters that I decided to write Tina on Goodreads
and just tell her how much I was enjoying the book and that I was going to the
event and I was excited to meet her. She
wrote me back!!! It was such a happy day
until I actually met her and that was such a great experience for me. She was down to earth, funny, and made me
feel welcomed at her table. I really
lucked out because the girl in front of me was an aspiring author and picked
her brain asking questions that I was too scared to ask and I received a lot of
great information. I also found out that
Tina wants to mentor new authors and I didn’t even mention to her that I would
love for her to mentor me! It was an
excellent event and it makes my heart happy to be in a room with so many
readers and our “rock star authors.” Oh
and not to mention that Tina took a selfie with me! How cool is that?
I loved this book! I
loved Taryn Mitchell and I thought she was an excellent main point of view
character. She was fun and truthful and
real. I loved Ryan. Gosh what a great male lead. He was passionate, loving, honest, and he
just made me happy. Even when he was upset
and they fought it was honest and I could see the scene unfolding in front of
me.
I loved how Ryan and Taryn met. The drinking and playing pool and her
seriously just hoping to calm him down and take care of him. I loved that she played hard to get at the
beginning. I loved that she turned down
giving him her number. I loved the
weekend at the lake… what am I talking about?
I loved the book and I laughed and cried, and read and read. I think above everything in the entire book
that I loved was how deep their relationship grew with great conversation and
over time even if brief. I felt close to
both characters and I believed 100% that they were growing closer in their
relationship. There’s nothing more
unreal than a relationship that I can’t put my finger on why they like each
other in the first place, but I am overwhelmed by Ryan and Taryn and their love
for one another.
I can’t wait to read Love Unrehearsed! I’ll keep you posted on how it goes!
I can only recommend this to 18 and older readers. Keep Reading my Friends!
