THE BODYGUARD | Katherine Center

Rating: ★★★★

TL;DR: Rom-Com with unexpected heart that is worth the read.

Short summary: Wow. This hit me right in the gut.

I thought I was getting a cute little rom com but I wasn’t expecting to be hit with “You don’t have to be perfect to be lovable” and a beautiful little study in learning to love yourself.

I also got a super cute rom com so I’m not complaining.

But sheesh.

What I loved:

• The switch up with HER being the bodyguard

• The heart in the center of this silly story

What I didn’t:

• Time-jumps, which I understand was needed to keep it from being super long, but I could have read more about them and the jumps weren't needed.

Mood: Brain Candy, Flrity and Fun, One-Sitting Read, Summertime Fun

Warnings:

• Parental abandonment

• Familial estrangement

• Domestic violence recounted

• Physical injury (gunshot wound)

• Parent with cancer mentioned

• Death of a parent with alcoholism-related illness

• Death of a sibling

• Gun violence

• Drowning

• Car accident

• Stalking

Who should read it: Anyone who wants a super fun rom-com and who wants to read the book before the movie comes out!
