Description



About the Book



There's a fine line between love and hate . . . And for the last seven years, Natalie Groves has hated Jeremy Walters.



Book Synopsis



Jessica Kate's heartfelt and romantic debut proves that love always comes in God's own time.

Natalie Groves once had big dreams. But soon after her fiancé, Jeremy Walters, inexplicably broke off their engagement and left town, her father was diagnosed with cancer. Now tasked with keeping her family afloat, Natalie's grand plans have evaporated . . . and God feels very far away.

Fast-forward seven years, and Jeremy is back in Charlottesville with an infant son and years of regrets. When his niece, Lili, lands on his doorstep in need of a place to stay, Jeremy needs help--and fast.

An internship opening finally presents Natalie a chance at her dream job, but she needs a second income to work around it--and the only offer available is Jeremy's. They could be the solutions to one another's problems, provided they don't kill each other in the process. When they join forces, sparks fly. But they both know there's a thin line between love and hate . . . and that love will turn out to be the best decision--or the biggest mistake--of all.

This inspirational contemporary read is a standalone novel, though it also features characters from Jessica Kate's forthcoming novel, A Girl's Guide to the Outback (coming January 2020).

Book length: approximately 90,000 words. Includes a reading group guide.

"A stunning debut . . . This tale of love and redemption will stay with you long after you've closed the book. A must-read." --Rachel Hauck, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Dress

"Witty. Charming. Heartfelt. I could go on and on about Jessica Kate's debut novel. From its highly relatable characters to its pitch-perfect dialogue, Love and Other Mistakes is a delightful, romantic read filled with just the right amount of sass. I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud as I watched Natalie and Jem navigate their relationships, careers, and faith. Definitely one of the most enjoyable books I've read lately, and I can't wait to see what's next from Jessica Kate!" --Melissa Tagg, Carol Award-winning author of Now and Then and Always and the Walker Family series

"Love and Other Mistakes wraps a poignant and warm look at relationships within a smart, sly, and knowing comedic voice. Readers of Sally Thorne and Bethany Turner will be immediately at home with Natalie: an all-too-real heroine who balances whip-smart agency with an endearing vulnerability and whose intersection with long-lost Jeremy helps her forge a path to confidence and discover the woman she was always meant to be. Kate's unputdownable debut recognizes that all human relationships--familial, friendship, romantic--are worth the keen eye and clever insight of her talented pen." --Rachel McMillan, author of the Van Buren and DeLuca Mysteries

"If you're looking for a story with sass on top of style, or a fresh voice pumped full of fun, you need to read Love and Other Mistakes. Then after you've enjoyed this--and I'm confident you will--make a date with whatever this exciting new author writes next!" --David Rawlings, author of The Baggage Handler

Love this story! Making mistakes in life is a given, there's just no way around it. But it's what we do after those mistakes that makes all the difference. Learning things the hard way is never a pleasant experience, but the lessons that we learn could change our lives for the better and offer us a second chance at something we never thought we'd get back. It's about moving forward in faith no matter what happens.

I typically do not like romantic comedies. Perhaps that’s why it took me awhile to crack open Jessica Kate’s Love and Other Mistakes. The cute illustrated cover teases romantic comedy, but what I found inside is thankfully so much more. This book has a cast of characters that could easily be picked out of everyday life. The good people, just trying to make it through life on a hope, a prayer, and a lot of hard work (Jem, Natalie, and Stephanie). The too-good-for-our-world ones (Lili, Nick, Sam, Natalie’s parents). And the downright wretched, whose selfishness threatens to destroy everyone in their wake (cough...Mike...cough). I felt every emotion while reading this novel. For me, that’s a great thing. I liked Jem and Nat’s relationship. They aren’t cookie cutter characters, and at times seem like their own worst enemy. But they each are doing their best, while still making sacrifices for those they love. Lili is the star of this show. Highly relatable, kind, and stuck in awful circumstances, she stole my heart. Her scenes with Nick, the boy from across the tracks, were my favorite. It had me sort of wishing the author would give the Young Adult genre a shot, because she could stand up next to John Green for sure. I love Jessica Kate’s writing style. Her spin on words and witticisms kept me hanging on every sentence. She absolutely could write true light-hearted romantic comedy if she wanted to, but personally, I hope she sticks with the soul-deep stories that leaves a lasting impact like this one.

Romantic Comedy

Love and Other Mistakes by Jessica Kate is an okay story. It is fast-paced with lots of family “issues” going on. Seven years ago, Jeremy ran out on Natalie, breaking her heart. Now, he’s back with an infant son and needing a nanny. Natalie has spent all her savings helping her parents and she just lost her job. Working for Jeremy is her only option. Will old feelings re-surface or is Natalie’s hate of Jeremy too strong? This story started out with such promise but it didn’t end so well. The characters just didn’t seem to fit. There were several references Natalie’s underwear that I thought were in poor taste; it didn’t add anything to the story. The family “issues” seemed to drag the story without getting resolved. For a Christian fiction story there was not very much repentance for wrong-doing. It was just assumed that forgiveness was a given without really being sorry for the wrongs committed. More of sorry that they were found out. I wouldn’t recommend this book. I received this book from Celebrate-Lit in exchange for my honest review.

Ever since I read the premise for this book, I was eager to get my hands on it! This debut romance features witty banter and relatable characters while showcasing the messy things of life with strokes of humor. First of all, I’m a fan of the love/hate trope because the story begins with a mountain of complications between the two main characters and it’s always interesting to see how things gets untangled. Another element that made the story engaging was the heroine. I found myself rooting for her success from the very first page! All in all, this was a solid debut from Jessica Kate, and I’m looking forward to her future stories! I received a copy from the author, all opinions are my own.
