Authentically Izzy by Pepper Basham
Heads up, book gush incoming!
MY REVIEW
I have long been a fan of Pepper Basham’s romances, but this one is my all-time new favorite of hers.
Drop everything, clear your schedule and get it now! (Okay well, pre-order it until November) Let me tell you why: This epistolary novel is full of swoony romance, heartache, self-realization, and literary, authentic bookish fun – not necessarily in that order.
Family is a big thing in this book and both Brodie and Izzy’s families are quirky and adorable, with the obligatory difficult…er…misunderstood family member.
This book will have you laughing out loud, sighing with happiness, and occasionally yelling at a character to change their ways. Wait until you get to the book wars scene. Too funny.
All-round pure entertainment with a heaping side of relatability and heart.
Book provided by the publisher on NetGalley, my opinion is my own.
