I LOVED this book. While it seems like a lighthearted romance there is such depth and nuance to the characters and the story. I rarely cry during a romance book and You, With a View had me tearing up at the end.
Noelle is struggling after the death of her grandmother and losing her job; she feels aimless until she finds something of her grandmother's that sets her onto a new path and a new adventure. Unexpectedly she find herself on this adventure with her high school "nemesis", Theo.
The adventure with Noelle, Theo and Paul is so sweet but also deals with long lost love, grief and difficult parent relationships. Noelle and Theo's budding relationship just felt so real! They aren't perfect and neither is their relationship. I can't wait to read more by Jessica Joyce!

I adored this book. As someone who lost her grandma — a confidante and best friend —several years ago, it broke my heart and put it back together many times.
The love story between Theo and Noelle felt genuine, and the banter is some of the best I’ve ever read. I giggled and grinned so many times (and cried, too).
Paul is also the most wholesome character who has become my favorite book grandparent.
An excellent story with the perfect balance of spice, light and fluffy moments, adventure, and depth.

I thought this book was okay; I just needed the communication between the main couple to be wayyyy better. I thought that the third act breakup was quite dumb; it could’ve been avoided if the couple quit hooking up at every possible moment and had real conversations. There were a few conversations that kept gave me hope, but it just didn’t feel like enough. Also, some of the banter just didn’t feel right; it fell really flat for me.
The love story between the grandparents was quite interesting; however, it felt like there wasn’t enough closure. Apparently the grandparents talked and that helped them move on, but we don’t get to see that. I think my main problem with this book is that there is a lot of telling but not a lot of showing.
