Book review: MY SILVER LINING, by Laura Pavlov

Rosewood River #2

Rafe Chadwick & Lulu Sonnet

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As I started the book, I thought this would be a standard fake relationship story but it went much farther than that.  It was also a story of growth and overcoming personal issues.  Both Rafe and Lulu had personal problems in their lives and being together as fake boyfriend and girlfriend gave them the friendship and support they needed to break out from the bonds that kept them stuck.

I loved both Lulu and Rafe! She was an emotional, free spirit who needed to fly on her own rules.  For this reason she didn’t fit into her famous family, where decorum was always expected.  The only one who loved and accepted her completely was her grandfather.  Rafe had plans to open his own financial consulting firm but insecurity kept him from pursuing his desires. I saw Rafe as man content in his life, who loved his town and his family, very friendly and happy.  He was like a ray of sunshine for Lulu in a life where she was seen as the black sheep of the family.

Initially Lulu was snarky and nasty, but as she grew close to Rafe, she changed to sassy and sexy.  I loved the slow burn as they grew close, develop the friendly ties, then the sexy ties, and how the mutual support helped them soar.  It was much more than fake relationship, it was discovery, freedom, happiness, a family and friends circle that buoyed them up.  Very uplifting and heartwarming, I loved this story and these two exceptional characters.
