Cover of Kate Canterbary’s In a Rush. The title is over astroturf with a white pain line across the top.

“It’s always been real for us.”

In a Rush by Kate Canterbary

When I finished reading In a Jam by Kate Canterbary in July, I ordered the second book in her Friendship, RI series as quickly as I could. I was so pleased with Canterbary’s style that I knew I wanted more of it. While I four-star loved In a Rush, it paled slightly in comparison. If In a Jam was a 4.5 rounded up, In a Rush is a 4.25 rounded down. Which is not a huge difference, but so much was the same between the two books that I couldn’t help but compare them to one another and while it all still worked a treat for me, Emme […]

This was an ARC sent to me by the author. My opinions are my own, and I loved the book so much that I pre-ordered a copy as soon as I’d finished reading it. Emmeline “Emme” Ahlborg catches her boyfriend, the man she was hoping was going to propose to her, in the act, sleeping with another woman (when Emme shows up on his doorstep with home-cooked food). She’s devastated, and what’s worse, he’s a groomsman in the wedding of her best friend (to whom […]

“Leave it to you?” “Yeah. I’ll take care of it for you.” A small smile broke across his face. “Wife.”

Sometimes I get really in my head about a book and lose the ability to string words together that convey my thoughts and feelings. Everything I’ve tried to write about In a Rush sounds overthought and boring, so I decided to go with the vibes the book brings to the function. The function being your reading place of choice. In a Rush leads with big marriage of convenience vibes that mask a strong “it’s always been you” core. Ryan has no subtlety when it comes […]
