I'm in love with the way she writes. -Great Scott
Author: J. Lea López
Title: Sorry's Not Enough
Pages: 287
Genre: New Adult
Date Published: May 24, 2013
Synopsis:
Charlotte learned at a young an age that even family can hurt you so bad "sorry" will never be enough to heal the wounds. She’s gotten damn good at pushing people away to keep her heart safe. Romance is nowhere on her radar, so she’s caught off guard when a summer writing workshop offers more than just critique.
Recent college grad Steven is pretty sure he’s got life—and love—all figured out. Until he meets Charlotte. She isn't impressed with his charm and good looks, and makes him work hard for every smile, every laugh. There’s something under the surface of her stay-the-hell-away-from-me attitude that only makes him want to get closer, and little by little, she lets him.
Just as Charlotte's about to fall into a love she never knew she wanted, Steven's new job turns their budding romance into a liability, threatening to ruin his career and break her heart in the process.

Review
Though this is López's first story, this isn't my first taste of her. She did not disappoint. Charlotte was frustrating and heartbreaking and human, and I can't be mad at her for that. Everything ended exactly the way it should have. While dealing with tough subjects, López was real and raw. Growing up and falling in love is really hard, especially through Charlotte's eyes. I definitely recommend this story to anyone who is a sucker for first time love.
