“Emi’s good with words. I’m an action guy. Oil and Vinegar. Not Salad dressing.”
My Own Best Enemy by Julie Christenson is a delightful romcom! The story is the second in the Apple Valley series, but is definitely a stand alone novel. Emi and Nash, the main characters, are two people that I connected with and enjoyed getting to know. I loved their alternating points of view throughout the book and how they both were introspective of their own lives as they walked through challenging events. It was refreshing to see how they changed over time.
I enjoyed my time in Apple Valley, and look forward to book three. The author weaves in the funniest scenes from kick-boxing classes to wedding planning as Nash and Emi discover what it means to forgive themselves and each other. These delightfully flawed characters bring their own joy, quirks, and introspection to the story to make this a great read. I recommend it.
I was given a copy by the author and not required to write a positive review.
She dreamed of being an author the first time she held a crayon, and she became a published novelist back in 2016. Last summer, after the library where she worked closed, Julie decided to shift her writing focus to sweet romantic comedies. The world had pretty much shut down by then, and she figured everyone could use more reasons to smile.
Julie is a former English teacher and lapsed marathon runner, the mother of two great kids, and the wife of one very funny man. Her goal is to write books that make you laugh out loud, fall in love, and live happily ever after.
