I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book a lot. There were so many wonderful and interesting characters in this book!

Another cute, clean Christian fiction book to add to your TBR. You'll fall in love with Britt and Hunter as they face their inner struggles and find love.

This is a good book. The two main characters Britt and Hunter. They meet when Hunter starts watching Britt’s U-Tube channel. She gives art lessons. Hunter works in a warehouse. There is an instant attraction. Hunter starts taking art lessons from Britt in exchange for helping with her anxiety. They start dating. They fall in love.

Britt Branch has a successful My-tube channel where she teaches all kinds of art lessons & has a style all of her own. Hunter Pickett has always skated by on his model looks and applying very little effort to anything except sports, and even that was iffy at times. He is the "black sheep" of his family and ultimately winds up in jail due to drugs and drinking. Going into his third year of sobriety (YES, WE LOVE THIS FOR HIM!), he comes across Britt's channel & eventually reaches out to her & they make a deal.
Britt teaches Hunter art lessons & Hunter helps her with her social anxiety. It seems like a great deal, right?
Britt's whole motivation of the book was to get her social anxiety under control so she could do what she wanted, which is ultimately to be in her best friend's wedding as her MOH.
Hunter definitely had a lot of redeeming qualities about him, but especially him overcoming his alcoholism and his drug problem. I truly feel like Kathleen Fuller hit the nail on the head with both of these heavy topics in todays world, in this book.
However, there were so many unnecessary chapters about Britt's mom and dad to provide background info on Britt and Hunter, so I didn't really understand those parts?
Overall though, I truly enjoyed this book. Big thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest opinions/review!

So Into You by Kathleen Fuller is a charming and heartfelt romance that explores the unexpected connection between two unlikely people—an introverted art vlogger and a reformed party boy. Britt Branch, an art teacher with a flair for the '70s and a love for teaching online, struggles with severe social anxiety. Her life revolves around her cozy home and her online community, but when her best friend announces her wedding, Britt realizes it’s time for change.

Enter Hunter Pickett, the handsome but aimless third son of a wealthy family, who has spent years hiding behind a facade of partying and rebellion. Now sober, Hunter is still trying to find his purpose when he stumbles upon Britt's art channel. Initially uninterested in art, he becomes intrigued by Britt's unique style and they strike up an online friendship that soon evolves into something more.

Fuller does a wonderful job of building the chemistry between Britt and Hunter as they teach each other valuable lessons—Britt helps Hunter find his confidence, while Hunter encourages Britt to step out of her comfort zone. Both characters are beautifully layered, each carrying personal baggage and secrets that will challenge their growing relationship.

So Into You is a sweet, feel-good read about overcoming personal hurdles, finding love in unexpected places, and learning to embrace who you really are. Full of heart and charm, this book is perfect for readers who enjoy stories about self-discovery, second chances, and romance between opposites.

What a read! I enjoyed thos book and it ignited my love for art and painting. The book follows an introverted vlogger and a reformed party boy who find themselves bonding with each other. It's an affirming read that sometimes we need to meet someone to find ourselves. Enjoyed it

This isn't my first Kathleen Fuller book, but it is different from the ones I've read as it's not connected to the Maple Falls series. This one was a different in that it follows four characters, and we see all of them develop throughout the story. One of my favorite aspects of the story was social anxiety, which I relate to, as well as the behind-the-scenes look at a character who is a YouTube creator (I loved that as a hobbyist content creator myself). Overall, this was another good story from Fuller and this solidified her as one of my go-to authors!

This was a cute story … I really like the “second chance” aspect of this story. I am a huge fan of YouTube, so it was really fun to see the behind the scenes of the creator’s process. Also as an “older” reader … it was nice to have the additional story with the secondary characters.

A beautifully written romance tackling some complex issues with great insight and sensitivity. The characters are relatable, the storyline is engaging and it was hard to put down! More than your average romance novel and one I’d highly recommend. It’s safe to say I loved it and will be looking out for more by this author.

Had to DNF this one at 43% unfortunately. I couldn't connect with either protagonist, and a full half of the book was devoted to Britt's parent's story that's happening at the same time as the main romance, which was not mentioned anywhere in the description and just isn't what I signed up for. The anxiety rep, which is the main reason I requested the book, was all over the place, and Britt honestly just did not read as somebody in her late 20s—I'm a full six years younger than her, and she honestly read younger than me. I really tried to muscle through, but ultimately just could not bring myself to finish this book.

So Into You is my first Kathleen Fuller book, but it won’t be my last. I’ve had a few books of hers on my TBR, and now I have more reasons to move them up on my list.

We follow Amy, her daughter Brit, her ex husband Daniel, and Hunter. They all have growing and healing to do before they find love.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s clean and entertaining. Amy got in my nerves at times, but I’m also a mama bear, so she gets some grace from me. Daniel and Hunter were my favorite characters, and seeing their growth was great.

Britt Branch has a successful online channel where she teaches a variety of art lessons. She teaches online because she has severe social anxiety. She lives with her mom, and worries that she might not ever have the courage to move out and move on. When her best friend announces she's getting married and moving away, Britt decides it's time to make a change. Britt's mother has been her life since her mother and father divorced. She recently began communicating with her dad over the phone and texts, but has kept it a secret from her mother. Hunter Pickett has always skated by on his model looks, applying very little effort to anything except sports, but that isn't good enough for his father. The third son of extremely wealthy and successful parents, he dealt with being the black sheep of the family by drinking and using drugs. He is now sober for 3 years, but his family has disowned him. He doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. Late one night he catches Britt's channel and ends up watching her videos. He's not interested in art, but something about Britt calls to him. He sends her an online message and is surprised she responds. Before long they are chatting every day, and once they start meeting in person, a spark-filled friendship begins. As the friendship becomes more, Hunter is worried about what will happen when Britt learns the truth. When Britt's mom finds out about her ex, will she and Britt be able to work through that lack of trust?

This was a wonderful romance with great characters, an interesting an realistic plot and lovely writing. I enjoyed this story and was able to relate to the characters. With alcoholism and addictions playing a huge role, I was happy to see it dealt with realistically. Britt's mom, Amy, was loving and had sheltered Britt for years, but she was also frustrating when it came to sorting things out with Daniel. The secondary characters were also fun, a bit eccentric, but also wonderful and adding much to the story. Of course as romance begins to bloom, there is an incident that causes a rift between them, but with perseverance, understanding and care, all the affected parties are able to work through that. If you enjoy a good, clean romance that has a bit of depth to it, then I recommend So Into You.

I adored this book for the first 40% but then it got heavy on the romance and, idk, I just didn't care for it much anymore. I did finish it and I'm glad that I did but it wasn't my favorite book overall. Still super sweet characters and some great character growth! Definitely worthy of four stars. <333

*I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

So Into You is Kathleen Fuller’s clean romance that contains intertwining stories of both a mother and daughter. While this story doesn’t contain any profanity, sex, or violence, it also isn’t religious/inspirational. It does include references to past substance abuse but both characters have successfully beaten their addictions. So Into You is told from four points of view.

28-year-old Brittany “Britt” Branch lives at home with her divorced mother, Amy. Her parents have been divorced for twenty years with no contact from her father, Daniel. Over the past few months, Britt has secretly been meeting with Daniel, who is now sober and is employed as a chauffeur for a wealthy attorney. Britt is very introverted and has extreme social anxiety, so she only leaves her home to go to a local art supply store. She teaches art classes online and makes money from ads and sponsorships. When Britt’s longtime best (and only) friend, Savannah, gets engaged and announces that she will be moving across the country after her marriage, Britt decides that it’s finally time to seek help for her anxiety. She waffles on serving as Savannah’s Maid of Honor

30-year-old Hunter Pickett is the youngest son of a very wealthy attorney who has skated by on looks and charm for most of his life. He wasn’t a good student and got into trouble, resulting in dropping out of high school right before graduation and getting a GED. He has been disowned by his family and hasn’t had contact with them for over two years. He works night shift in a warehouse and shares an apartment with a co-worker/friend, Sawyer. When Hunter comes across Britt’s YouTube videos, he is impressed by her talent and realizes that her voice soothes him. After a week of bingeing her videos, he sends her a message and is surprised when she responds.

46-year-old Amy Branch is a high school math teacher who has been divorced for 20 years. Her best friend, Laura, encourages her to try online dating or join her group, Single Mingles. Amy is reluctant but winds up meeting a very nice widower named Max when no one else comes to the group social. Amy likes Max but she doesn’t have any romantic feelings for him and feels like there should be some spark like she had with her former husband, Daniel.

Daniel Branch is a recovering alcoholic who is employed by a wealthy attorney in Texas. He feels bad for the wrongs he committed against his former wife, Amy, and their daughter, Brittany. He enjoys his job as a chauffeur, which isn’t very demanding and pays well. He’s shocked to learn that Mr. Pickett has a third son, whom they encounter in a men’s store and give a short ride to. Mr. Pickett’s two older sons are very successful and have trophy wives who are similar in personality to the demanding Mrs. Pickett.

Britt and Hunter message each other online and then coincidently meet weeks later at the art supply store that Britt recommends he shop at. The old hippie couple who own the store sense the sparks between Britt and Hunter, and do a little matchmaking. When Britt discloses her social anxiety to Hunter, he wants to help her. Britt is determined to work on herself because she wants to be worthy of Hunter’s affection and also do a good job for Savannah at her wedding.

Although So Into You starts off slowly for the first few chapters, the author does a good job of foreshadowing so that the reader can predict that Daniel Branch will eventually run into his ex-wife, Amy. The big question is if she will continue to pursue a relationship with wonderful Max, or reunite with the reformed and repentant Daniel. The reader also quickly deduces that Hunter is the son of the wealthy Mr. Pickett, who is Daniel’s employer. So the interwoven stories all come together with some twists and turns. The themes of redemption and forgiveness are prominent without the story being preachy. So Into You is appropriate for readers from Young Adult and up.

I received an advance review copy (ARC) from NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

So Into You was a story by a new to me author. The plot was interesting with all the flawed characters in search of their second chance.

I also liked how everyone was connected to each other wij only the reader knowing for a bulk of time of the story.

*I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions expressed are my own .*

I really loved this book. It's an opposites attract. I really love how anxiety is mentioned and implemented in this book!

What a sweet book! It was a little predictable with all of the connections, but I still loved it.

One of my favorite things about this book was that it was told from multiple viewpoints, which added so well to the character development. I thought the aspect of social anxiety was approached very well too.

This was my first read from this author, and it will not be the last!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.

When I read in the blurb for this book that the FMC had social anxiety and loved all things 1970s, I was SOLD! I read 30 pages the first night only to go back and reread from the start the very next morning because I realized that this was a story I was wanting to tab and highlight. The representation of social anxiety in this book was spot on and so relatable.

Brittany Branch is nearing age 30 and still lives with her mom. She runs a very successful YouTube channel where she teaches drawing. It’s her absolute passion. Teaching in person is something her social anxiety prevents her from doing. It prevents her from a lot of things to be honest

Cute little escape book. True story of opposites attract. The quiet good girl meets the bad boy and sparks fly.

I absolutely love Katherine fuller and rely on her for a closed door sweet romance. This one was so unique and I loved the characters and their journeys of overcoming their fears. I loved their chemistry together and the very real issues the author addressed. Highly recommend
