Love and Other Mistakes by Jessica Kate – Review, Guest Post & Giveaway

August 10, 2019 by Suzie Waltner 8 Comments

 

About the Book

Love and Other Mistakes
Book: Love and Other Mistakes
Author: Jessica Kate
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release date: July 31, 2019

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

Natalie Groves was meant for great things. But soon after her fiancé left, Natalie’s father was diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly her grand plans evaporated . . . and God felt very far away.

Fast-forward seven years, and an internship presents Natalie a chance at her destiny—but she needs a job to work around it. And the only offer available is worse than a life sentence. Her ex Jeremy, now back in town, is desperate for help with his infant son and troubled teenage niece, Lili. And Natalie may be just the one to help Jeremy . . . provided they don’t kill each other in the process.

When Jeremy and Natalie join forces, sparks fly. But will either of them get burned along the way?

In My Opinion

There’s a fresh new voice in Christian fiction. Jessica Kate’s debut had me smiling or laughing one minute followed by a sucker punch of sympathy for this family in crisis.

While Love and Other Mistakes includes plenty of romance, it’s Jem’s family that stole the show for me. From Jem’s turbulent relationship with his father to his niece’s struggle with loneliness, disillusion with her parents, and feeling unloved, my heart hurt for the Walters family.

Natalie Groves has her own issues to work through—her dad’s illness and her how to make her desire to follow in his footsteps, no matter what the cost to her, a reality.

There’s so much happening in this story, I flew through it. And when it was over, I immediately hopped online to find out when the next book was coming and if it featured any of the supporting characters I just med (January and YES!).

About the Author

Australian author Jessica Kate writes inspirational romances with wit, sass, and grit. Jessica is a screenwriting groupie, cohost of the StoryNerds vlog and podcasts, and her favorite place to be—apart from Mum and Dad’s back deck—is a theme park. She has traveled North America and Australia, and samples her favorite pasta wherever she goes—but the best (so far) is still the place around the corner from her corporate day job as a training developer. She loves watching sitcoms with her housemates and being a leader in a new church plant.

Jessica Kate brings rom-com fans a reminder that love has its own timing in her breakout novel, Love and Other Mistakes. Kate is best known in the book world as the cohost of StoryNerds, a vlog and podcast about all things books and pop culture, recorded from her home city of Toowoomba, Australia. Now, she’s carving her own place in the Christian fiction arena and helping to fill the rom-com genre gap with a novel full wit, sass, and grit.

 

More from Jessica

A romance that makes me laugh and snort my strawberry milkshake across the keyboard when I sneak in chapter at work – that’s just the best. My loftiest career aspiration is to create that experience for someone else. There can never be enough of those books in the universe, especially novels that include deep faith and emotion, as well. I adore love-hate romantic comedies like The Hating Game by Sally Thorne, and I spend my days dreaming up plotlines that force characters who hate each other to work together as a team. But, Natalie’s journey came from a real place for me—that feeling you’re missing out on your purpose and you don’t know how to fix it.
