Jessica Kate’s hilarious, romantic
debut novel proves that some mistakes—including love—are begging to be made
again and again.
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.
Praise for the Book
“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

My thoughts:
This book has a lot going on not that I didn't appreciate a multi layered story but this one has a different feel to it. The pastor who is has no intention of admitting to his mistakes, his young daughter who finds herself in the middle of all of his dishonesty. I have to say, these characters made the storyline interesting..
For a debut novel I thought that one was pretty impressive and I liked that author had characters from various age groups and blended them perfectly within the pages of this book. A story of family and friends and how at times we have to make sacrifices to help not only your loved ones but those who are need of help. too.
I was expecting a bit more humor but I loved the dialogue between Jeremy and Natalie and how they pulled together to do what is best other people in their lives.
Overall this storyline is much more tender than I thought it would be and that's just fine with me. I like the writing of Jessica Kate and I will read more of her work. I received an electronic copy rot this blog tour. Al opinions are my own.
