Kind Of A Big Feeling

Kind of a big feeling is book 3 in the Hallow's End series. Caleb and Ivy have been best friends for 10 years. Ivy's just too good and looses herself in putting others' wellbeing over her own - especially her goofy womanizer of a best friend, Caleb. Caleb somehow knows that Ivy could be the one but hides behind his commitment-allergy, afraid to grow up and fail at it. Everyone around them can see they are more, yet Ivy's too afraid to loose the friendship and Caleb runs from emotions. Will they be able to finally acknowledge their true feelings or will they burn and break each other? Both of them need to learn the secret to happiness is to love themselves first wholly - and not to feel worthy of someone else's love. This allows for great character growth throughout the story with some setbacks/breakdowns on the bumpy dirtroad. Will they manage to listen to their hearts and jump into the unknown together or will hearts break and friendships shatter? I loved the book from start to end with all the banter and quirky, funny, loveable & relatable charactes - including some side-charakters like Ivy's grams and the animal sidekicks! I loved & cried, and chapter 39 ripped out my heart and made me want to punch Caleb to the point I wasn't sure this could still lead to a shared happy end or if each would only find their true happiness by cutting the other one off. I couldn't put the book down and it was an emotional joyride including words of wisdom I will keep in my life.
