Jenny's Reviews > Catch the Sun

Even though I haven't read anything by Jennifer Hartmann before, I'm obsessed! Reading books usually doesn't make me cry, but this one did. Jennifer truly has a gift with her words. She has the ability to evoke strong emotions in you through her characters.

I was immediately drawn in by Catch the Sun. I really liked the two main characters. Ella and Max were both incredibly well-written and relatable. Max was really kind and considerate, and Ella had just the right amount of adolescent angst mixed with humor. They are both recovering from trauma and going through the process of recovery. However, their obvious and exquisitely shown chemistry is strong.

This book is so much more than a romance. It has many highs and lows, as well as some tragic and frustrating moments, as well as some corny and sweet ones and a few extremely dark events. The darker parts were really excellent.

This was definitely a five-star read for me! This novel makes you feel everything at once and has it all. It's a heartwarming tale of having to make difficult choices in order to move past your past and find healing.

If I tried, I couldn't recommend this book enough. I am now an immense fan of Jennifer Hartmann, and I am eager to read more of her writing.
