My So Into You Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
So Into You by Kathleen Fuller is a clean, opposites-attract romance about finding courage and love when life feels stuck. The story centers on Britt Branch, an artist and online art instructor who struggles with severe social anxiety. Britt’s creative world is safe, but isolated—she rarely leaves home unless it’s with her mom or best friend. When her best friend gets engaged and asks Britt to be her maid of honor, Britt feels the push to break out of her comfort zone. Enter Hunter Pickett: once a reckless party boy, now three years sober and trying to find meaning beyond the mistakes of his past. Late one night, Hunter stumbles upon Britt’s art channel, and what starts as casual online messages turns into a spark-filled, real-life friendship. Their connection grows as they each help the other heal, face their secrets, and open up to change. When revelations rock their budding relationship, Britt and Hunter have to decide: stay trapped by their backgrounds, or step forward together.
Why I Love This Book
I love how down-to-earth and honest this story feels. Britt is relatable—her anxiety is a real part of her life, not just a plot point, and her journey toward confidence makes me root for her harder with every page. I care about how she tries to grow, even when it’s messy. Hunter, too, isn’t just the reformed bad boy; his recovery and struggles are written with care, and his attempts to earn forgiveness make him more than a stereotype. Their friendship-turned-romance feels sweet and believable, built on quiet moments, learning from each other, and real effort. I like that their chemistry isn’t flashy but grows with every conversation, text, and art lesson. And I love how art is woven into the story—not just as Britt’s passion, but as a way both characters start to heal. There are moments that made me smile, and a few scenes that tugged at my heart. I finished this book feeling lighter, like I’d just watched two good people learn how to let someone in. The supporting characters add cozy depth, and there’s even a touch of a secondary romance that’s worth the read.
Who Will Like This Book
If you enjoy sweet, slow-burn romances with real emotional stakes, you’ll like this one. Readers who want to see anxiety and addiction handled thoughtfully, without heavy-handed drama, will appreciate Britt and Hunter’s stories. If you love opposites-attract, reformed bad boy, or wallflower artist pairings, this book stands out. The romance is clean—if you want fade-to-black and wholesome but heartfelt connections, this is for you. Expect character growth, second chances, and a cozy, satisfying resolution.
⚠️ Trigger warning: The book discusses social anxiety, addiction recovery, and strained family dynamics. It’s gentle, but these topics do come up, so be aware if they’re sensitive for you.
