Give Me Butterflies A Novel

Give Me Butterflies by Jillian Meadows is the first book in the Oaks Sisters duet. This is Millie and Finn‘s story.   These two both work in a museum together and I absolutely love the STEM aspect of the book. Millie is a curator for the Entomology Department and the butterfly and bugs girl. And Finn is the director of the Astronomy Department. They have a bit of a hate to love work rivalry going on and that was quite funny to follow along and their bickering is great. They slowly became friends and then so much more and I loved following along their story. It’s definitely slow burn but I loved all the little and tender moments.   Millie is working hard to get a new position of a director and I loved how passionate she is about her field of study. Her family is lovely as well and I loved the scenes at their farm. She is caring and loving and that was exactly what Finn needed.   Finn really likes his job and he has a stable life, but it  turns upside down when his sister dies, and he becomes the guardian of his twin nieces. I liked how this book portrayed grief in a raw and realistic way and how they work on it. I always love a found family story and this one was just so precious, and I melted away with all the scenes with the nieces.   Overall, Give Me Butterflies totally gave me butterflies and was such an amazing and heartfelt STEM friends-to-lovers romance. 5 stars.   (ARC kindly provided in exchange for a review.)

Ich liebe Jillian Meadows für diese Bücher! Ich hab schon Wreck my Plans gelesen über Millie‘s Beste Freundin Lena und war schon begeistert und jetzt ging es diesmal über Millie. Ich hab Millie, Finn und seine 2 Nichten Avery und Eloise in mein Herz geschlossen. Die Spannung zwischen Finn und Millie war so stark zu spüren von Anfang an und ihre Bindung zu Finn‘s Nichten ist einfach zu süß gewesen, eine richtig Familiendynamik hat sich hier entwickelt. Aber Millie‘s Familie und Freunde sind genau so unterstützend und helfen ihr immer, wenn sie es braucht. Ich hab den Schreibstil geliebt, den Aufbau der Beziehung und die Epiloge! Von mir kann ich nur sagen, dass es eine Wohlfühlgeschichte ist, die man lesen muss! ;)
