nmcannon 's review for:
As You Come Undone
by Molli Moran
This review is going to be hard to write. Like with the other two novels in The Walker Boys series, As You Come Undone was an utter delight and trying to get coherent sense out of a brain of delightful fannish squealing is difficult. I just adore Molli Moran's work.
As You Come Undone has us returning to the small Southern town of Baylor for Ethan Walker and Jenna Leigh Rutledge's love story. The baby of the family, Ethan has always felt he must be "the fixer"--yanno, that one family member who's always there to help, lend a shoulder to cry on, and otherwise provide support. However, since everything's going well for the family, Ethan's...kinda flailing. He finally has time for himself, but what does a guy who looks like Southern Captain America even want out of life? His best friend Darren suggests a weekend at the beach. Meanwhile, local librarian Jenna is stressed and under duress over the library's re-opening, her flaring carpel tunnel, and her upcoming divorce from Chuck the Schmuck. Her best friend Sadie suggests a weekend at the beach. When Jenna and Ethan collide on the dance floor of the SAME beach hotel, sparks fly to passionate inferno.
As you may know, I read up to three books at once in my daily life, so when I say, "OMG, guess what happened in this book I'm reading" to my partner, she usually has to mentally cycle through a list and pick which book she thinks I'm referring to. Not with this one. Whenever I was thinking about As You Come Undone, I was bright-eyed, cheeks flushed, and butt wiggling happy and excited. The characters! The plot! The emotions! The Captain America jokes! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! The Walker family of the previous novels of course makes appearances, and it was brilliant to see how the couples' of the past novels are flourishing. Jenna and her friend Sadie practically stepped off the page with their vivacity. Ethan and Jenna's struggles were raw and real. Some characters come out as bisexual and I happy-screamed. I had such a good time with this book.
If you like romance with emotional maturity and more sizzle than you know what to do with, read The Walker Boys series and As You Come Undone. It's absolutely fantastic. I treasure every page.
