So Into You: A clean, opposites-attract romance featuring a former bad boy and reclusive artist by Kathleen Fuller is a unique novel. I loved the themes of redemption in this novel. I thought the author’s portrayal of a woman with severe social anxiety was really interesting. The mother and daughter characters in this book had a lot in common in the end. I think readers will enjoy this book. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I loved this book so much! It was so different and unique. Britt was someone I could connect with and Hunter’s ability to get Britt to open up was so refreshing and sweet. I loved how Britt and Hunter connected and how Britt was able to let go of some of her fears.

I listened to the audio version on a road trip, and it was an easy read. There were a few heavier moments, but the overall tone was light. The social anxiety aspect was very interesting. I do not have this level of social anxiety, so I cannot speak to how accurate the book portrayed it.

I agree with many of the other reviews. The characters were supposed to be opposites, but they sounded very similar. The story was primarily focused on the social anxiety and the secrets everyone kept, which ended up leading to a giant miscommunication trope (my least favorite). I did not like the relationship between Britt and her mother. Considering she is supposed to be 30, the mother was very overbearing and treated her like a child.

Overall, I enjoyed the book enough, but it wasn't my favorite from this author.

So Into You is a stand alone novel by Kathleen Fuller. Britt Branch presents art lessons and shares her work with her followers on her YouTube channel. Suffering from extreme anxiety, Britt has found solace in her art and a community in her followers, the majority of which are kind and supportive.

Hunter Pickett has made a fine mess of his life never able to live up to his older brothers. What he did have was extremely good looks and passable sports ability and parents that made his legal issues disappear until they didn’t. That’s when his drinking, drug use, and minor legal infractions landed him with a brief jail stint and regular AA meetings and when he started turning his life around. Now, estranged from his family and working swing shift in a warehouse, Hunter is at a crossroads. With so much on his mind he has trouble sleeping until he stumbles upon Britt’s soothing voice and lovely work. Listening to Britt soothes Hunter’s soul and lulls him to sleep. But that isn’t quite enough. Hunter reaches out to Britt with a DM and they begin exchanging messages leading to a chance encounter in her favorite art store.

There is so much more to this interesting story, including another chance encounter that will rock the worlds of all involved. I did enjoy this story and I do recommend it!

So Into You by Kathleen Fuller is a clean Christian romance. I liked the book, but it should have been a movie instead. The multiple POVs and characters kept confusing me, and I found it really hard to follow. Also, I don't know why some conversations seemed to happen over and over again without any revelations.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book had a lot of potential with its unique premise—an anxious artist and a recovering addict finding love—but I found it a bit repetitive.

The story follows Britt, a socially anxious painter who prefers the safety of her online art channel, and Hunter, a former addict trying to rebuild his life. Their slow-burn romance is sweet, and I appreciated the book’s focus on mental health and redemption.

That said, the story started feeling a little stuck in a loop. The same issues and conversations seemed to happen over and over without much new development, which made it drag at times. Plus, there’s a subplot about Britt’s parents that took up more space than I expected, making the main romance feel a bit sidelined.

I did enjoy the emotional depth and the way Fuller handled anxiety and addiction with care, but I wish there had been more variation in the pacing. If you love heartfelt, character-driven romances and don’t mind some repetition, this might still be a good pick for you!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

"So Into You" is an opposites-attract romance about confidence, forgiveness, and healing.

Horribly shy Britt is an influencer who films art tutorials. If she doesn't have to leave home, she doesn't.

Reformed partier Hunter is working hard, staying sober, and hoping to fly under the radar as long as possible. After drawing too much attention to himself in his younger years, now all he wants to do is live a quiet life.

But when an algorithm somewhere suggests one of Britt's tutorials when he's having a hard time sleeping one night, he finds himself drawn in by the cute star of the show.

When they eventually meet, they each have things they hide from the other and of course that only leads to problems later on. Ultimately, the question they must each answer is, are they better apart or together?

Overall, I enjoyed the story and hoping that each of the main characters would have what it takes to overcome what was holding them back. There were fun secondary characters as well (Maude was a hoot!), and a lot of growth and learning all the way around, not to mention an HEA or two.

Thank you to Kathleen Fuller, the publisher, and NetGalley for an advance review copy.

So Into You by Kathleen Fuller is a sweet, clean romance that features an engaging opposites-attract storyline. The chemistry between the former bad boy and reclusive artist is heartfelt and believable. The pacing is steady, though the plot is fairly predictable, and the characters, while likable, could have had more depth. Overall, it’s a charming and enjoyable read. A solid 3.75 stars—lovely, with just enough depth to make it a fun, easy romance.

This was pretty good. I didn’t really know what I was getting into when I was reading this, and I certainly didn’t expect it to have such serious topics, but I’m pleasantly surprised.

Before anything, I’d like to say that I was indeed hooked on the story - I read this for 4 straight hours non-stop. I loved the life lessons that this story relayed to the readers, which is why I also wouldn’t categorize it as a romance through and through - I personally think romance wasn’t the entire focus of this. I did like Britt and Hunter’s story, but it was more than them. In fact, this story dived into a lot of the characters lives.

Now, on to the way this story was written. I’m not usually mad at multiple POVs, but the way the author went about it in this story made it almost confusing. Add the fact that it was also written in third person, and I found myself getting lost at times. Another reason why I can’t really label this as a romance read is that - with all the romances I’ve read anyway - we don’t only focus on our two “supposedly” main couple, Britt and Hunter, but also Britt’s parents and their relationship. Now, I don’t know if there are other books in the genre that do this, but I haven’t read any. Nothing bad about it, it just surprised me and I realized I’m not a fan of this kind of writing.

Anyway, the structure and pacing were fine - definitely more of a slow burn. Also, I hated the third act - not just the break-up, but everything that happened was too frustrating for me. Honestly, I think it took so long to patch things up and they were all going in circles at that point. Another example of no communication between characters, and it was maddening.

Overall, aside from my personal frustrations, it was a really sweet and inspiring story ❤️

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for allowing me to share my honest review of this ARC.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing company for this Advanced Readers Copy of So Into You by Kathleen Fuller!

3.5 stars
This was a sweet story of a girl with social anxiety and a bad boy with a tough last meet and start to fall for each other. Hunter is interested in Britt and she can’t seem to why he would like her

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book a lot. There were so many wonderful and interesting characters in this book!

Another cute, clean Christian fiction book to add to your TBR. You'll fall in love with Britt and Hunter as they face their inner struggles and find love.

This is a good book. The two main characters Britt and Hunter. They meet when Hunter starts watching Britt’s U-Tube channel. She gives art lessons. Hunter works in a warehouse. There is an instant attraction. Hunter starts taking art lessons from Britt in exchange for helping with her anxiety. They start dating. They fall in love.

Britt Branch has a successful My-tube channel where she teaches all kinds of art lessons & has a style all of her own. Hunter Pickett has always skated by on his model looks and applying very little effort to anything except sports, and even that was iffy at times. He is the "black sheep" of his family and ultimately winds up in jail due to drugs and drinking. Going into his third year of sobriety (YES, WE LOVE THIS FOR HIM!), he comes across Britt's channel & eventually reaches out to her & they make a deal.
Britt teaches Hunter art lessons & Hunter helps her with her social anxiety. It seems like a great deal, right?
Britt's whole motivation of the book was to get her social anxiety under control so she could do what she wanted, which is ultimately to be in her best friend's wedding as her MOH.
Hunter definitely had a lot of redeeming qualities about him, but especially him overcoming his alcoholism and his drug problem. I truly feel like Kathleen Fuller hit the nail on the head with both of these heavy topics in todays world, in this book.
However, there were so many unnecessary chapters about Britt's mom and dad to provide background info on Britt and Hunter, so I didn't really understand those parts?
Overall though, I truly enjoyed this book. Big thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest opinions/review!

So Into You by Kathleen Fuller is a charming and heartfelt romance that explores the unexpected connection between two unlikely people—an introverted art vlogger and a reformed party boy. Britt Branch, an art teacher with a flair for the '70s and a love for teaching online, struggles with severe social anxiety. Her life revolves around her cozy home and her online community, but when her best friend announces her wedding, Britt realizes it’s time for change.

Enter Hunter Pickett, the handsome but aimless third son of a wealthy family, who has spent years hiding behind a facade of partying and rebellion. Now sober, Hunter is still trying to find his purpose when he stumbles upon Britt's art channel. Initially uninterested in art, he becomes intrigued by Britt's unique style and they strike up an online friendship that soon evolves into something more.

Fuller does a wonderful job of building the chemistry between Britt and Hunter as they teach each other valuable lessons—Britt helps Hunter find his confidence, while Hunter encourages Britt to step out of her comfort zone. Both characters are beautifully layered, each carrying personal baggage and secrets that will challenge their growing relationship.

So Into You is a sweet, feel-good read about overcoming personal hurdles, finding love in unexpected places, and learning to embrace who you really are. Full of heart and charm, this book is perfect for readers who enjoy stories about self-discovery, second chances, and romance between opposites.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are mine.

What a read! I enjoyed thos book and it ignited my love for art and painting. The book follows an introverted vlogger and a reformed party boy who find themselves bonding with each other. It's an affirming read that sometimes we need to meet someone to find ourselves. Enjoyed it

This isn't my first Kathleen Fuller book, but it is different from the ones I've read as it's not connected to the Maple Falls series. This one was a different in that it follows four characters, and we see all of them develop throughout the story. One of my favorite aspects of the story was social anxiety, which I relate to, as well as the behind-the-scenes look at a character who is a YouTube creator (I loved that as a hobbyist content creator myself). Overall, this was another good story from Fuller and this solidified her as one of my go-to authors!

This was a cute story … I really like the “second chance” aspect of this story. I am a huge fan of YouTube, so it was really fun to see the behind the scenes of the creator’s process. Also as an “older” reader … it was nice to have the additional story with the secondary characters.
