Something Just Like This by Lisa Shelby
4.0
Something Just Like This is the third book in Lisa Shelby's You and Me series. In this book, readers get the to see the evolution of love between Cami and Liam. Having met four years prior at their best friends wedding, the two only begin to get to know one another better after Liam moves to Portland to further his family's business. But the more they get to know one another, the more the flame begins to burn between the two. Each have insecurities that have the potential to derail their new relationship. Will they overcome them or let their insecurities continue to rule their lives?
I enjoyed Something Just Like This. I thought Lisa Shelby wrote a good book that readers should enjoy as a quick and easy read. It was written in duel POV so we definitely got a taste for both characters perspectives. I had a hard time with how little Liam thought of himself, even if I understood why he had diminished self worth. Confidence in a man or woman is huge and the constant knocking of his self worth was a drawback for me. One the other hand, Cami was very strong and new what she wanted from life. Since all too often this role is reversed in romance stories, I did like how strong the heroine was, but not at the expense of our hero. Lisa's a talented author and the story was good. I had a hard time staying focused on it to start but about the time that Cami and Liam are able to move past a friendship to a love interest with one another, I started to enjoy the story more. It was a little slow for me. The plot was fairly light, and easy to follow. Lisa's characters all interact a great deal. Therefore well it is a standalone, it does make sense to read the series in order to enjoy the storyline better.
Other then being a little slow for my tastes, Lisa Shelby writes sweet romances that audiences will enjoy. This book was well written. It was fairly lite in the angst department and in sexy times side of things. There is some of both, just not an overwhelming amount of either. Cami and Liam are a definitely an opposites attract set of characters, which was a fun addition to this latest You and Me series book. Overall, it's a solid four star read.
