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 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

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.

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.
