This book was so cute and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This story follows several different storylines but it’s all interconnected (think the first episode of Modern Family).

I love Britt & Hunter, they are truly “opposites attract” and the ways they help and support one another is heartwarming. They were my favorites.

Also, if you’re looking for a clean romance, this a great one to check out!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read this as an arc!

I enjoyed this book. I read it at times and listened to it other times as I was given advanced copies of both.

Initially, when I first started this book, I was apprehensive because it was a bit confusing. The format takes a while to get used to but once you get the hang of it, you'll be fine. I do think some people would prefer the format to be less jumbled.

This was a good read for me because it had depth, the interconnectedness of all the characters was definitely interesting and I loved how realistic the characters were. I think most people would be able to relate to at least one character in this book.

The representation of mental health struggles was wonderfully done as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, I thought it was written well and handled with care.

This book is about second chances, daring to do something new and loving & be loved even when we are imperfect, struggling and battling life's troubles. We can be messy and still worthy of love - giving love and being loved.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Thomas Nelson Fiction and Kathleen Fuller for giving me an ARC of this book!

This book was adorable, I loved it soooo much
We have not just 1 story but multiple ones that are all connected in a certain way (can say bc don't wanna give away anything)
So many different types of relationships in this book, from loves to family to friends ones
We have a old married couple (so cutes these 2 are), then there is a new romance, and a second chance relationship.

I guess I am gonna say the main characters and the most important relationship/romance is between Britt and Hunter. Who are as opposite as you can get but so perfect for each other and def these two together help each other.
This book has so much going on and so many intertwined parts and it is perfect.
Such a great story, loved all these characters.
oh and this book is all sweet and no spice. Just a heads up.

The premise of the story interested me and the characters struggles are certainly something that many can relate to. However, I felt that the story fell flat partly due to too many undefined characters and story they seemed to start and stop.. The book has potential and could turn into a page turner with more story and character development

This book was a clean romance. It was good in a way that it still managed to deal with some hard pressing issues. But would be a more available optipn for those who needed a slightly less overwhelming option. That's not to say it didn't seem truthful or too nicey. I liked that it still covered key points to some really tough moments.
Each of our characters had issues. And like all things it seems, these issues stem from an issue with the self. How too many people just don't feel good in themselves. And then how different people react and copenwith that k different way. Be it addiction, self deprivation or trying to be everything in the need to others acceptance.
Our two characters found eachother. And found how to help eachother be strong. And in doing so learn so much more about how to heal themselves first.

ARC READ THROUGH NETGALLEY. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. I enjoyed this book a lot. It was a sweet story about taking chances and proving to yourself you can make change and do hard things. The depiction of social anxiety was also mostly well done. Overall, a good read that I would recommend.

An artist rom com, with a heroine who loves the 70s and has an online painting lessons that reminded me a bit of Bob ross. It was cuter than I thought it would be.

This was a heartwarming story with complex family dynamics. It was a clean romance. I enjoyed the chemistry between Britt and Hunter, but I wished Britt had managed her anxiety better for herself, and not for other people. The family story was touching. I appreciated how everyone was looking out for Britt. Hunter seemed like a genuinely good man who loved Britt wholeheartedly. Britt's parents truly love her despite the past issues in their relationship. Overall, I enjoyed the story with its twists and turns in the family drama.


Thank you netgalley for the complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

4 stars

A very sweet faith-based romance, So Into You is about self-forgiveness, redemption, growing up and figuring out how to balance life. It’s a lovely read about personal growth. Some of it feels a little slow-moving and predictable – too predicable to be a DIK – but it’s a nice little romance with an enjoyable sense of itself.

Brittany Branch is a successful YouTuber (or in this universe, a MyTuber) who paints for a living. Style-wise, she loves the 1970s and is obsessed with 1980s-style yacht rock. But in spite of that, her social life is muted – social anxiety has kept her living at home with her teacher mother, Amy, who severely babies her. Brittany has a new goal; tame her social anxiety in time to be a bridesmaid for her best friend’s wedding, and try to get up the courage to do live, in-person art demonstrations for her fans.

Hunter Pickett is a former party boy who landed in jail and found his way out of the morass of alcohol and drug addiction thanks to his faith in the Lord, as introduced by a supportive fellow inmate. Hunter’s looks and charm have been his free ticket out of trouble up until now, but with his mega-rich family giving him tough love and only a GED under his belt, he finds himself working nights at a warehouse.

Hunter finds Britt’s channel completely by accident, and he’s charmed by her. They strike up a conversation, then manage to meet-cute by accident at a local art store. When Hunter learns about Britt’s anxiety, he decides to help her slowly but surely develop an independent life for herself in exchange for free art lessons. They’re both soon attracted to each other, but Britt can’t believe that someone like Hunter would ever want to be with her. Will they each conquer their demons?

So Into You is a lovely, pleasant piece about people with real issues that are not easily solved by love alone. Britt and Hunter help each other become better people through their faith in God and each other, and the book is a nice, pleasant romance about art and affection.
Britt and Hunter are delightful; I really enjoyed them both as characters and found their journeys to be relatable and sweet and their romance lovely.

But it’s not quite extraordinary enough to hit the DIK range; the narrative moves a little too slowly, and Britt’s relationship with her mom – while understandable – grates repeatedly, and not just because it’s supposed to. But what pulls the book through is the strength of the relationship between its lovers-to-be. So Into You is sweet, moving, and tender, and a worthwhile reading experience.

ARC and ALC Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Britt is a successful video blogger. While her love for art started out as an outlet for her social anxiety, it grew into a thriving career. However, working from home is a double edge sword. It provides her with a satisfying career, but pushes her further into her anxiety.

Hunter is a recovering alcoholic and drug user. After years of reckless behavior, he found himself in prison and cut off from his affluent family. Desperate to clean up his act, he attended a program at a local church and started working at a warehouse.

Discovering Britt’s videos has helped Hunter to stay clean. On a whim he decided to reach out to her and the two developed a friendship. Will they become supportive and helpful to one another, or will their individual struggles tear them apart?

Kathleen Fuller’s So Into You is a story of redemption and forgiveness. Rooted in Christianity, the story illustrates that everyone is flawed. While it might be easy to see ourselves as too far gone, the opportunity to evolve is always available.

I found the message of hope to be refreshing and encouraging. I appreciated seeing both Britt and Hunter’s backstories. It gave vital insight to their transformations.

Read this book for:
-clean romance
-opposites attract
-mental health representation
-multiple POVs

Special thanks to Netgalley, Harper Collins Christian Publishing, Thomas Nelson Fiction, and Kathleen Fuller for allowing me to read/ listen to this book in exchange for my honest review.

* Having both read and listened to this story, I would recommend consuming it in any format. The audiobook was well done. It was narrated by Melissa Moran.

Artist Britt Branch and Hunter Pickett meet on her on-line art classes, they meet in person but are both keeping secrets from each other. There is also Amy Branch, Britt's Mother and her Father Daniel Branch, they will all have things to overcome in this well written, engaging story. I enjoyed seeing them get their happy ending. This is a new Author to me. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

So Into You is a sweet, heartwarming story about a girl learning to love herself and gain confidence in who she is with the love of a boy who loves unconditionally. A few times in the storyline, I wished the characters would "get it together" a little more quickly, and I saw the big unraveling coming after about a quarter of the way through the story, but it was still an enjoyable read!

Kathleen Fuller’s book, So Into You, was an enjoyable rom-com about people overcoming their own personal fears to find love. This was an enjoyable read and I give this book 5 stars. This would be a great addition to anyone’s clean, Christian, romance shelf. I look forward to more books by this author. I received this book as a review copy from the publisher.

I sometimes have a hard time reading new adult romances but this one was pretty good and rooted in some real stuff that folks have to get through. There was a usual a little too much secret keeping that created the conflict

I absolutely LOVED this book! The clean romance weaved through all the characters was very sweet, as was the overarching story of forgiveness and redemption. This story is a great reminder that people can change with God's help and love, further being an example of how we should love others.

A Louisiana Christmas to Remember is a collection of three interconnected romances set in the fictional Louisiana town of Moreau, which is loosely based on Natchitoches, the oldest European settlement in Louisiana

A Louisiana Snow by Morgan Tarpley Smith
This is the story of Mattie Hayes, small-town journalist and organiser extraordinaire, who is organising the Christmas market to raise funds to restore the local chapel after it was damaged in a recent hurricane. This means working with Paul Ammons, her long-time rival since he beat her to become high school valedictorian and won a coveted scholarship to Paris.

Restoring Christmas by Betsy St. Amant
This is the story of Jolene, Mattie’s artist cousin, who is hired at the last minute to repaint the town mural, and Cameron, Jolene’s new boss.

A Christmas Reunion by Lenora Worth
This is the story of Mattie’s aunt … and I don't want to say too much more about it, because that will ruin the surprise.

My favourite story was Mattie’s, perhaps because she is the character I related to best, and perhaps because I’m a big fan of friends/frenemies to more stories. My least favourite story was Adala’s, because even though I know these are made-up stories, I’m not a fan of controlling parents who go out of their way to do what they want rather than seeking what’s best for their child (as God does for us).

I loved the way the three stories were separate but intertwined. Even though they are all standalone stories and all set at the same time it’s best to read them in order, as each story introduces situations and characters that become more relevant in the next story.

It’s also fun to see the came characters from different points of view. In the first story, Mattie has definite opinions about Jolene and whether she can be trusted, but Jolene’s story explains why she is how she is.. I enjoyed seeing Granny Eloise in all three stories as well, as the mentor figure able to give advice whether it’s wanted or not.

The three stories combine to provide a heart-warming Christmas set of Christian romances, even if the Louisiana snow is a far cry from the sunshine I am used to at Christmas.

Thanks to Barbour Publishing and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

So into you you was a cute story. It starts off slow, as there are several characters you have to get to know. But as time goes by, you get to know and love each of them. I wouldn't say it was majorly Christian fiction, but it isna clean romance (some side comments though). I loved watching Britt & Hunter fall in love, while overcoming (many) obstacles. Stick with it. Worth reading.

**the story does deal with alcoholism and anxiety.**

So Into You by Kathleen Fuller

Rating: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to the publisher, Netgalley, and the author for access to this book in exchange for an honest review! I received the digital ebook and audio ARCs of So Into You from the publisher via NetGalley.

So Into You is an excellently written book that highlights some of the tougher parts of life, while simultaneously remaining lighthearted and positive. It explores the subject of mental health through the story of Britt, an artist with social anxiety, and Hunter, a reformed alcoholic. Their unexpected friendship grows into a meaningful relationship marked by healing and hope.

It’s told through the point of view of four characters- Britt, Hunter, along with Britt’s parents, Amy and Daniel. The multiple perspectives work well and I was thrilled to see the progression of the story through multiple POVs.

Overall, this is a wonderful story that’s primarily about letting go of insecurities, taking a leap of faith, forgiving oneself and others, and second chances. This is a clean romance with abounding joy, love, and light. Highly recommend!

The audiobook version of So Into You is very well done. It kept me engaged throughout with fantastic pacing and tone. It’s super easy to stay connected to the characters and plot with the audiobook.

Britt Branch, a popular YouTube art instructor, has severe social anxiety that keeps her housebound other than outings with her mom, Amy, or her best friend and only friend, Savannah. When Savannah announces her engagement and asks Britt to be her maid of honor, it is a huge request. Britt wants to do this, but it is a huge step outside her comfort zone. When she announces that she wants to stretch herself during one of her videos, Hunter Pickett reaches out to her. As Britt and Hunter’s conversations online pick up, they eventually run into each other through a chance meeting at Britt’s favorite art store. Hunter is confident, sexy, and not afraid to take a chance. But Hunter has his demons... he’s a recovering addict and is estranged from his wealthy family.

I was hooked on this book the second I opened it. I immediately got excited about every little thing that happened. We’re talking 11% in. That’s so rare! I felt so much joy over Britt’s transformation throughout the book. And Hunter is realistic and down-to-earth, which makes him a wonderful book boyfriend. There is also a secondary romance involving Britt’s mom, Amy. I felt very connected to Amy as a mother. Worrying about a child does not stop simply because they are adults, especially when the child has an emotional disorder.

This is one of the best, if not the best, reads of 2024. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys closed-door romances with bad boys, women who’ve sworn off relationships, and who always cheer for opposites to attract.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Thomas Nelson Fiction through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I dnfed this fairly early on for a few reasons. The first reason is that I felt like it focused on too many characters. It was distracting when it would cut to the mom's story because I just wasn't invested in that one as much as the main characters. Another reason was I didn't feel like the anxiety rep was genuine because the fmc had tried numerous strategies to overcome it or help with it and still struggled with it. Then the mmc enters her life and all of a sudden she thinks she can retry something she already did and it would magically disappear. I just wasn't feeling this at all.
