I Think I Might Need You. Christina C. Jones. 2019. 135 pages. [Source: Kindle Unlimited.]
The Love sisters are back, and this time Joia is front and center, literally and figuratively. She’s a social media influencer whose focus on a fit and nutritious lifestyle has garnered her a significant following of folks invested in her knowledge and life. That increases when she gets a bombshell on a livestream that throws her life into a tailspin.
Joia is living her best life, unencumbered by things that don’t serve her well; that includes dating. She’s done with men who aren’t capable of giving her the respect she deserves, and is working on building her own empire. The last thing she needs is her ex, Teddy — as fine as he may be — popping up trying to get that old thing back after 8 years. So while he tries to assert himself back into her life, she’s trying to figure out how to adjust to her new normal and all the uncertainty that comes with it.
The story itself is messy, which makes it all the more entertaining. Joia has to grapple with a major life change that she’ll live out publicly. While her fans and followers have always been attentive, she’s now living under scrutiny that’s sometimes unfounded and unreasonable. In addition to that, she has to navigate another ex who can’t take the hint that their relationship is over. Joia doesn’t seem to really get a break and it’s easy to sympathize with her.
I really enjoyed this novella. The Love sisters are incredibly entertaining, and have much more distinct personalities and temperaments than I thought they’d have. As with the first book in this series, you get to see the personalities of all three sisters as well as their close family and friends shine without overtaking the main characters’ story. They provide plenty of food for thought as well as humor to break up the seriousness of Joia’s predicament and Teddy’s attempt to get back in her good graces.
I Think I Might Need You is a short read, but is packed full of drama, laughs, and, of course, love. I definitely recommend it, but think you’d best read the first book before diving in. Can’t wait to get my hands on Jemma’s story.
