Ready for just a ton of words being thrown at you? Hopefully a ton of words. Because when I love a book and I just go for it, I freeze. I can’t tell you anything besides that I love it. And I do love Julia by Ashley Pullo. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Not only did I fall so fast in love with Julia (Hello girl crush), but I fell in love with Theo too.
Ashley Pullo might have made the perfect book couple ever. They were perfect for each other. They were perfect apart. They were just perfect. Quirky, spunky, so totally cool. I want them to be my besties. I want to hang out with them. Walk around the city. Go hang out on Long Island with Julia, because we grew up in neighboring towns, so it would be like going home and hanging with my bestie. Because in my mind, Julia and I are besties. And I know, she has a bestie in the book, but we can be a bestie threesome.
So straight honesty here, I wasn’t sure if I was going to love the book. I read Tess, the first book in the series, and I liked it. I didn’t love it. And I wasn’t so sure about reading Julia. But I’m so glad I dove right in and did it. And while they are in the same series, you don’t need to read Tess first. But I always read series in order so I felt I needed to.

Ashley Pullo has a way with words. She doesn’t just give you a story. She gives you a peek into lives. You feel part of the book. I feel like I have a new bestie. That’s what kind of story she writes. It’s not just me wishing I was friends with her characters, I got so involved with the story and the way it was written, I am besties. (I swear to you I’m not crazy. I don’t understand it is fiction.) Not only are her character's quirky and spunky, but so is her writing. And sitting her, I’m mad. I’m mad at myself for not waiting until Darby is out so I can just jump right into it. I don’t want to stop reading Ashley’s stories right now. I want to stay in New Amsterdam, have a drink and chill with my new friends.
