After being on my Goodreads TBR list since 2013, I can finally cross this one off! But only to add several more because now I want to finish this loose series and read the author's backlist! I am so grateful that my book club often has 'read the book that's been on your TBR the longest' prompts in challenges or else I may not have discovered Marisa de los Santos.

Love Walked In is a heartwarming story that features the dual perspectives of Clare, an 11 (going on 30) year old who struggles with an absentee father and a mother who just isn't acting the same anymore, and Cornelia, a true romantic who loves movies and Hollywood and isn't expecting love to walk in to her love when it does.

I loved Clare's character. She captured my heart from the very beginning. Cornelia - not so much. But if you can give this book the first 100 pages to build up from it's slow-start, your fondness of her might grow too.

This book touches on mental health that is more sensitive and alluring than if it was written in 2020.

I really enjoyed the writing, which is why I want to read all of the author's books! This really is my kind of book about love. I found the entire story very endearing. I guess I am more a fan of contemporary love stories than romance. And if you're a reader out there who appreciates and knows the difference, then you might enjoy this too.
