A Beautiful Kind of Love

As another year is upon us, it’s time for us to look back at the books Chick Lit Goddess has reviewed this year, and while we weren’t accepting many review requests, when it came time to pick our top five favorites, it was quite a challenge. To see all the book we reviewed this year, click HERE.

**Counting down from five, here are the Chick Lit Goddess’s Five Favorite Reads in 2015!:

5: “Dear Internet: It’s Me, Avery” by Jennifer Ammoscato

This book was hilarious! If you’re looking for a quick, fun, and light-hearted summer read, this is for you!

4: “A Beautiful Kind of Love” by Ellie Wade

This book is for anyone who believes in love, even when you might not end up with “the one” you thought you would, (**Note: this is Book #1 in the series).

3: “Speak Not or Forever Hold Your Peace” by Becky Monson

This book is true Chick Lit, and I cannot wait to read more of Becky’s books! (My recommendation, start with this one!)

2: “Up to I Do” by Samantha March

Even with wedding drama, this book shows that love will find its way!

1: “Plan Bea” by Hilary Grossman

Three words: Grab the tissues!

Blurb: Every choice has a consequence.

I believe in soul mates. Why? Because I have one and his name is Jax Porter.

I have known Jax my whole life and I have loved him with every breath I’ve ever taken. The fact that we were born a mere month apart to mothers that are best friends has made us inseparable since birth.

What we have is so rare, one would think our story would be written, our fate sealed. But, unfortunately that’s not how life works. Life offers us many choices that can turn destiny into chance.

I now find myself heading toward a destination that I could have never imagined and I have to figure out where to go from here.

Will the choices that have been made change our path forever or will fate find its way?

My Review: Every now and then, I will buy books based solely on its cover, and when I saw the cover for “A Beautiful Kind of Love,” I knew I had to have a copy. After reading the blurb, it was easy to believe I’d fall in love with not only the story, but the characters, too.

After finishing this book last night, I was so overwhelmed with Lily and Jax’s love story that I went through a few tissues. From beginning to end, this passionate love story was a page-turner, filled with so many unexpected twists and turns.

At first, I had a lot of trouble understanding where Jax was coming from, wondering why he was being so selfish to make such a life-altering choice for himself and Lily, but at the end, it felt so real, and it made me realize that life really be harsh, depending on certain choices we make, (sorry, no spoilers on what happened).

As for Lily, I loved her character and could definitely relate to her. She’s a romantic who just wants to be in love with her childhood best friend, but that all changes, thanks to the “love of her life.” I applauded her for how strong she was. Though moving on is always hard, it was very obvious that Jax was never forgotten.

If you’re looking for a quick, romantic and sexy read about falling in love with your best friend, I highly recommend this book, and it would also make for a great holiday read!

I give “A Beautiful Kind of Love” 5 stars!

**Note: “A Beautiful Kind of Love” is book one in the Choices series, and I’m hoping to have a review for book two, “A Forever Kind of Love,” before the year’s over.
