Hollyn’s witty and sassy attitude won me over in no time. I admired her strength and her drive to step out of her comfort zone despite the challenge it presented. She expressed herself well in writing, but had difficulty making friends and socializing. Her Tourette’s Syndrome which manifested at a young age made her self-conscious. She lived most of her life in isolation, due to bullying, which led to social awkwardness and anxiety. As a result, she avoided making friends. However, when the opportunity of a lifetime came knocking, she had two choices, take the steps needed to achieve her goals or remain in her little box and face the possibility of losing her job. Watching her grow throughout the story proved a delightful experience.
Jasper is a skilled improv actor, and he wants to make his mark in the world of theatre. Getting involved in a committed relationship was not on his agenda. However, meeting Hollyn shook his world in ways he never expected. Jasper was a delightful character, although I have to admit some of his actions made me want to knock him upside his head. The deeper I got into the story, the more I understood the reason behind his actions. The changes he made throughout had me falling hopelessly in love with him.
Their initial meeting though awkward revealed an attraction that would slowly develop throughout the story. I loved them as a couple and couldn’t help rooting for them. I so wanted them to work out their issues and achieve all their goals.
Overall, Yes & I Love You was a wonderful story which showed the benefits of leaving one’s comfort zone. Tough at the start, but in the end, it introduces you to a whole new world. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
