#1 BEST SELLER IN HUMOROUS FICTION!
Gemma Summers is unlucky in love. She’s known it since third grade, when her first crush blew a spitball into her hair, and a decade-long string of bad dates, boring sex, and abysmal morning-afters has done nothing to improve her prospects. When a random radio contest lands her courtside tickets to the hottest playoff game of the season, Gemma thinks her luck may finally be on the upswing — at least, until the dreaded jumbotron kiss-cam lands on her and her date, who’s too busy ignoring her to notice… Thankfully, the sexy stranger sitting next to her is more than willing to step in. One kiss. Two strangers. No strings attached. Or… so she thinks. Turns out, kissing Chase Croft — Boston’s most eligible bachelor — may be enough to convince even a girl who’s given up on love to let down her guard one last time... NOT YOU IT’S ME is a full-length, comedic contemporary romance about a girl who doesn’t believe in love… and the man who changes her mind. It is the first installment of the internationally bestselling BOSTON LOVE STORY series and can be read as a complete standalone. Due to sexy-times and strong language, it is intended for readers 17 and up.

Not You It's Me - Boston Love Story #1

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024

Verified Purchase

Gemma Summers wins courtside tickets to a basketball game and takes her neglectful boyfriend Ralph. When the kiss cam points to Gemma, Ralph is ignoring her so the sexy green-eyed stranger next to her stands up and kisses her. Chase Croft is the owner of the team and gives her a passionate kiss. Gemma is so embarrassed that she runs out of the stadium and Chase goes after her to apologize. There is an attraction between the two but there are things that keep them apart. I really enjoyed this delightful contemporary romantic fiction novel.

A Trigger Warning would be nice

I know you should never judge a book by its cover…I did it anyways. Sigh/ I thought this would be a cute rom-com lighthearted adventure and intrigue. It was not, there were greater depths of violence, assault, kidnapping, weighty emotional matters and danger that had I been better prepared for the content would not have bothered me as much.
Kind of like when you bite into a piece of cake expecting banana and instead taste the tart-sweet biting flavor of lemon. Both are good but if you’re not expecting it can short circuit your brain a moment or three.
This was a great story, well told, enjoyable and worth the purchase. Beware the TWs.

This story is written with intelligence. It's refreshing. It has its moments of being heavy, and of being light hearted. The author has taken care that there are no grammatical issues (also refreshing).

It's a smart read all the way around.

Not You It’s Me by Julie Johnson
3.5 stars!!

“He’s the embodiment of composure; I’m the epitome of chaos.”

This is one of those books where the blurb just pulls you in. Most of us have probably all seen that viral You Tube video of where the jumbotron pans the crowd and the couples have to kiss, then you get that one dude who ignores his girlfriend while prattling on his phone, the crowd goes wild, booing and hissing and then the girl is saved when the guy sitting next to her reaches over and gives her a kiss instead…a knight in shining armour. Well this is how this book starts and I have to say, I loved it.

“For the possibility of something truly wonderful. Because a life without hope, without love…that’s really no life at all.”

Gemma has her own issues to deal with and relationships are not her forte, for some reason she always manages to pick frogs and even when she kisses them, they do not turn into princes. She has abandonment issues and the way that she was brought up doesn’t help, so perhaps her outlook on relationships isn’t the best either. But I loved her as a character, she was an artist, she was funny, she was clumsy, she had a knack of getting into trouble without even trying but this only made her all the more endearing.

“Because you aren’t built for deceit or lies or darkness. I’m shadow and you’re sunshine. You’re not like me. You’re just…different.”

Chase Croft is a man who has a mountain of issues himself. His family are dysfunctional, competitive, irrational and just generally, awful people, yet somehow they are billionaires and now with his Uncle having to retire he has had to come out of hiding to take over the family business. The press have wondered where he has been for the past five years so when he appears on screen on a jumbotron kissing a woman the world goes wild and life these two people will never be the same again.

“My world - it’s monochrome. Black and white. But you…you’re painted in every shade on the palette. You’re screaming color. A effing rainbow.”

I have to say that this was a fantastic premise for a book, I loved the way they met and as the cat and mouse began with these two I was itching for them to succeed. I felt sorry for both of them, their parents and families having such a negative effect on their outlook on life and romance in general, they were both missing out on so much. These two were total opposites yet they had more in common than you would ever imagine and it was obvious that there was that spark, but neither were looking and yet sometimes those sparks burst into flames and together their flames roared.

“Take a risk on messy. Live fearlessly. Love recklessly. Most of all, just love.”

Julie Johnson did fantastically well bringing these characters to life, both of them wormed their way into my heart and I was championing them all the way. The banter between them had me in hysterics at times and it is this melded with some serious issues that really balanced this book. Yes they have their fair share of angst as any new relationship would have and what with this being the first real relationship for both of them you knew they were going to make mistakes, but it never came across as too much. It was understandable and relatable.

“He didn’t stay…no one ever stays.”

This would have been a solid 4-4.5 star for me, but I just felt towards the end the plot just ran away a bit, it got a bit silly and a tad unbelievable and so much was crammed in, in so few pages, my brain struggled to keep up. Overall though, I really enjoyed it, I laughed a lot and even teared up a few times. So for anyone wanting an easy read that will make you chuckle then I highly recommend it.

“He loves me, and it breaks my heart…in the exact way it needs to be broken.”

This was a fun book to read. The main character is crazy funny although if I lived with her she would drive me absolutely bonkers. The only thing about the book I would change is for it to have a little more steamy sex. This book is a PG 13.

He is a billionaire and she is broke/starving artist. They meet unexpectedly and share the kiss cam. Sparks fly and she is attracted to him. She is hilarious with her interactions with him. He falls head over heels and she is always getting herself into messes. Fun read!

Its been a while since i have read a story that i couldn't out down.. one that drew mw in and held me captive!

I so desperately tried to stop reading it so i could lok fowaed to coming back and junmping into the story again and have that to look foward to. But sadly i couldnt put it down! Jahahah

It was all kinds of wonderfull . all kinds of perfection. The only not fantastic part is the confusing back story with chase and his family and sometimes her friends wernt understanding when she didn't get back to them. Well gee shes only been unavaible!
