LOVED this book!! Auddie and No were just perfect! I loved that it wasn’t your standard “best friends sibling” trope! The pace of the book was great and the banter between the trio was great!! Noah showing how a man should treat the woman he loves 😍 Sign me up for Connor’s book now !! Thank you so much for writing such genuine and relatable characters!

This was addicting to read and not put down! 4.5 stars!
It was cozy, heartwarming and set the expectation bar super high!
Noah and Audrey are sickenly cute, this couldv'e easily been 300 pages longer and I wouldv'e eaten it up!
I can't wait to see what else Caitlin Klassen comes up with!

This was a really sweet story, and I did like the two main characters. This book definitely needs someone to edit with a fine-tooth comb, especially with the dialogue. A lot of parts felt too wordy, and over-explained.

There was a lot of "millennial" driven writing which, as a millennial, made me cringe. I don't need Taylor Swift song titles to tell me the vibe of a chapter, or tell me the way it should make me feel. (& I say this as a fan). But, really? A "Guilty as Sin" chapter when FMC is longing for her ex? It is just so, heavy handed? It just wasn't clever, in my opinion.

Be ready for all the feels on this one. I was very surprised at how emotionally deep this one got for me. I have not read anything by this author before so I wasn't sure what to expect going in. It was very well written and I think the character arc for Audrey was so well done that I would probably read anything this author puts out.

I absolutely loved this book. Beautiful writing style, amazing themes, modern outlook. Stunning. Would recommend and re read anytime.

I loved this book! This was my first read by Caitlin Klassen, and while I don’t usually gravitate toward sports stories, this one completely won me over. I fell in love with the characters—Audrey and Noah especially—but honestly, all of them stole a piece of my heart. Well, except for douchey Paul… he can get bent.

I devoured this book in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down. It was the perfect feel-good read, with writing that pulled me in, a story that had me hooked, and characters I didn’t want to say goodbye to. Everything about it just worked.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Caitlin Klassen, and the publisher Victory Editing for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. 5 stars for a job well done!

You Used to Love Me by Caitlin Klassen is a second chance, friends to lovers, oh so sweet baseball romance.

Audrey is stuck in an unhealthy relationship, just going through the motions of life. Noah is a successful professional baseball player who has always regretted not telling Audrey how much he loved her before leaving for college years ago. After ending her relationship and reconnecting with Noah and her brother, Audrey joins them for the baseball season. They quickly fall back in love. This was a quick read with not much depth. The story is definitely sad to start with some pretty heavy content (trigger warning for spousal gaslighting, cheating, and abuse), but quickly turns into a second chance romance. I did enjoy the read, but it just did not go very deep, I wanted to get to know the characters more and have them work through their emotions, history, and feelings together. Overall, it just felt too much like a fairy tale and make believe.

Thank you to Netgalley, Victory Editing, and the author for this e-ARC.

I could not put this book down.
I am not one to typically jump to read a sports romance, but once I started this - I couldn’t put it down until I was down. Caitlin Klassen hit me with an unexpected 1-sitting read.

I loved watching the life of Audrey & Noah unfold. Learning their backstory, touching on the bad and everything that brings them to where they are.

I appreciated that this touched on some really tough, real-life scenarios without making it the grand focus, and still having it feel like such a sweet, feel-good romance.

I will 100% be running to read the rest of this series as it releases. I am impressed, and this may have convinced me to give more contemporary sports romances a try.

This was a delightful and short read. The story started with a sad and angry heartbreak, but that was soon compensated by a cute and sweet new beginning of a second chance love story. I particularly loved how the brother supported the relationship of his sister and his best friend. The MMC was really patient and thoughtful. Towards the end, I hoped for some climax scenes but there was only sweetness which level exceeded my tolerance limit, guessed I was so familiar with grumpy MMC or angst 😅
If you are searching for an XXL dose of sugar sweet romance, this one might be it.

This isn't just a story of girl falls for older brother's best friend. This book actually has a great deal of depth! Audrey is the slightly younger sister of Conner, and she has a long time childhood crush on his best fiend (who also happens to be her close friend), Noah. They have quite a few twists and turns in each of their lives, some definitely not for good, but the broken road is what leads the ones meant to be in love, back to each other.
The author does a magnificent job on character development, giving great insight to each of their pasts, and fun referrals to the best love stories by Nicholas Sparks.
This isn't a very long book, but she uses that "small" space so wisely to tell a great story- so much that I read it in one night (never mind that I had a bad case of insomnia, so it kept me happy to have something that kept my interest of reading!).
I definitely will be on the lookout for more of her works!

You Used to Love Me is a short and fast paced romance novel that follows Audrey and Noah, two childhood friends with feelings who reconnect after some time apart. Without revealing too much of the plot, I want to mention that the first part of the book depicts domestic abuse (the abuser is not the MMC).
To start with the negative, I always have a hard time with multiple timelines, and personally don’t care much about baseball, so those parts weren't the most engaging to me, but that's just a personal preference.
What I did love about this book was how the second part of the story doesn’t revolve solely around the romance, but is also about Audrey getting her life together and learning to put herself first. There’s no third-act breakup or miscommunication, it's dual POV and there’s a huge playlist with a song dedicated to each chapter. The best part for me, though, was the friendship between Noah and Connor. It’s refreshing to see healthy masculinity and characters who aren't afraid to talk about their feelings and express love (big Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac energy right there).
The pettiest part of me wish we had an update on Paul living a miserable life alone, but overall, this was a pleasant read, and I'll definitely keep an eye out for the next book in the series.
