About the book:
Two high school enemies must reunite for a road trip inspired by their grandparents’ broken engagement in this electric debut romance.
Noelle Shepard is unemployed, living with her parents, and grieving the loss of her beloved grandmother when she discovers decades-old photos of Gram and a smitten man, tucked alongside a love letter. She creates a TikTok to search for the mystery man, which goes viral, and she’s shocked when his grandson responds—a man who happens to be her high school nemesis, Theo Spencer.
Noelle refuses to let Theo’s annoying accomplishments in adulthood—or his sexy smirk—stand in the way of meeting his grandfather and unlocking the secrets he knew about her gram as a young woman. When she learns that their plans to elope were thwarted, Noelle decides to take the honeymoon road trip they planned but never got to carry out. There’s a catch, though: Paul, Theo’s grandfather, asks to come with her, and he insists that Theo join them.
It’ll be a miracle if they make it through the trip without Noelle throwing Theo out of the moving car—or the bed they end up sharing. As the miles tick by, the tension simmers hotter between them…until she discovers that Theo’s hiding a secret that could cause their tenuous relationship to end before it can restart.
You, with a View by Jessica Joyce is a contemporary romance novel. The story in You with a View is one that is an enemies to lovers trope with forced proximity and does have some flashing back to the past in the story.
Noelle lost her grandmother a few months ago and living with her parents and being unemployed hasn’t helped in easing her grief in missing her beloved grandmother. Going though some of her things Noelle finds evidence of her grandmother having a lost love in her life.
Using social media Noelle gets a lead to the mystery man but what she doesn’t expect is it’s the grandfather of her former high school nemesis, Theo Spencer.Still wanting a glimpse into her grandmother’s old life Noelle finds herself on an impromptu road trip with Theo and his grandfather to learn the story of a failed engagement.
You, with a View by Jessica Joyce caught my eye because of course I’m always attracted to any type of travel in my reading since let’s face it, real travel is expensive!! While i’m not always the fan of the enemies to lovers I still really enjoyed going on this road trip with the characters while they discovered their past and their futures together. One I’d recommend checking out sometime.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

When she’s not writing character-driven, realistic and relatable tales of millennials who are just Doing Their Best while falling in love, you can find her listening to one of her dozens of chaotically curated Spotify playlists, trying out a new skincare face mask, crying over cute animal TikToks, or watching the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice.
