Love Redesigned

It was perfect no damge on the book and ready to read it i am so happy

4.5 stars Omg I loved this book so much! Childhood rivals and second chance romance? It had me hooked from the start! I love how they first reconnect 😆 they have such great banter and the snide comments were the best haha! I seriously loved Julian and Dahlia together. All the elements that bring them back together were amazing. And their chemistry next level! 😮‍💨 Julian, gah, is so swoony! He falls first and it is just everything. I love love loved him. Dahlia is dealing with a lot and the mental health rep with her is seriously so good and relatable. Depression and anxiety is hard to combat and I think the author touched on it very well. I loved how everything was resolved and the spiteful side of me had me cackling and kicking my feet with what transpires 😆 This one was hard to put down and the narrators doing duet narration were *chef’s kids* perfection! *Also anyone who has triggers about infertility may want to avoid this one.

I had built so many expectations from this book in my head right since it was announced and I was afraid of it being less than what I had imagined but this book really did not disappoint me. Lauren never fails to deliver and that's why she's one of my top favorite authors! Her writing made me fall in love with Julian & Dahlia's story! This book was quite long but never once did I feel bored I was glued to the pages and read it in one sitting! I just felt that connection between Julian & Dahlia and they were perfect together! The things that Julian secretly did for Dahlia were so heartwarming and he was hands down the best book boyfriend! Dahlia was so amazing, talented and had such a wonderful spirit and I just wanted her to heal her soul and I was so glad that Julian played a huge part in bringing her happiness back! He did push her away but all those years apart really made them realise how much they missed each other. The side characters especially Julian & Dahlia's mom's were so chaotic, I just loved seeing them! They were literally the best matchmakers lol! I read all the extra epilogues and those Kane family appearances were so awesome! Overall, this was a very enjoyable read and I'm already excited for the next book.

I loved it, the characters, the dynamics, the family, the cameos. I want a Julian in my life, beng a fixer myself we could fix each other :) He was kind, generous, he cared about his people, always making sure they were doing okay, before taking care of his own problems. I loved how he easily understood Dahlia, he is the example of "if he wanted to he would", he knew what she needed and did everything to make it happen. I liked his character, I appreciated the fact that he wanted to settle down and not just be alone, but what I enjoyed the most was his arc, like Dahlia he gradually found joy again in what he was doing: he decided to be less involved in his company work and find the courage to come back to his father woodshop, an hobby/job that really stimulates him and makes him happy. Dahlia my baby, her depression and anxiety were very realistic and my heart hurts for her. I appreciate how she was able to get through these dark days and regain confidence in herself and joy in her work. She's so strong, I admire her sm, I loved her development, how she finally understood that she wasn't the problem, leaved the toxic people in her life, started working on herself to get better and doing what she felt right. I could feel the tension between them since page one, their banter was chef kiss, they are perfect for eachother. I liked everything about them: the pace of their relationship, Julian's gestures, the pranks, the competition between them.

Original book 💕💕💕

I honestly think all my problems would be solved if I could have a man like Julian.
