Give Me Love by Kate McCarthy
5.0
One of my friends told me about this book, and then the author gifted it to me. I was so excited to read it.
What’s my opinion now that I’m done?
WOW!
LOVED!
Kate McCarthy. I love you. New favorite author for me.
In the acknowledgments at the end, I had trouble believing this was Kate’s first book. I mean, I believe her, but you know what I mean. It was amazing and did not read like a first time author at all. Kind of blew my mind.
I could NOT put this down. I carried it to soccer practice, and dance class, and sat in the car in 95 degree weather so I wouldn't be interrupted by other people I normally talk to at these things.
Right from the start there was so much energy coursing through this book. I don’t know how else to describe that feeling I had from the first page.
When Evie is up, you’re up, when Evie is down, your down. You easily swing into the same moods she is in while you’re reading. She has a quick wit and an awesome come back to everything and so do all of her friends. I kind of have a girl crush on Evie. I think I should make a new shelf, girl crushes. I love it when a book inspires a new shelf.
Jared. *sigh* I need a Jared. I *heart* Jared mucho. He is definitely a strong alpha male, which I love in my romance books. What is a romance book with a wishy washy dude? Give me a strong man who goes after what he wants, doesn’t stop until he has it, and is willing to protect what is his at all costs please. That describes Jared to a T.
I was up, I was down, my heart was huge with hope, it was broken. This book runs the gamut of emotions.
Then there is the stalker element. Excellent! I am not going to give spoilers, I hate spoilers, but that was an excellent angle to add to the story line and I liked how it wrapped up.
I really loved every character in this book, and there were quite a few between Evie’s band and Jared’s security company. I couldn’t come up with a favorite between all of them, though Mac and Henry were just as quick on their feet with witty replies as Evie was and I laughed a few times when those three were together going back and forth.
And the ending –

I had a few tears.
I need the next book like yesterday. :) That one is Give Me Strength and it looks like it is coming out September 16. I cannot wait!!!!
All in all awesome book. Perfect love story. Girl Crushes. Book Boyfriends. I think this hit all of my shelves.
