Love has many meanings, but sometimes it may start with the self-love. Lonely and far from achieving her potential, Julie wants first and foremost to get herself back on track and puts aside her dreams of everlasting love. In her mid-40s, she feels like something is missing from her life, not necessarily a someone.
Until she is attending her best friend´s meeting and meets a handsome but hard to grasp single dad, Luke. Will he be able to break the ice of destiny and convince Julie that life can finally get only better?
Love, Julie by Jamie Anderson is a great book choice for a weekend of reflection. Through Julie´s story, particularly the struggle, one can maybe better understand what really matters in life and how no matter how much one may fight to get that future of his or her dreams, sometimes it is better to wait or just accept that the focus on present is much more important.
Julie is not a boring or stereotypical character. She is unique especially in the ways in which she is able to reflect on her plans and change accordingly. It´s a character one can relate to, and maybe meet in real life as well. Luke is also a complex presence, and both they are a good story match.
Love, Julie is a completely different kind of love story and I enjoy spending time with the characters. The story keeps the readers focused and may even tempt you to make assumptions about what may happen until the end.
