About the Book:
After tirelessly climbing the ranks of her Chicago-based interior design firm, Lane Kelley is about to land her dream promotion when devastating news about her brother draws her back home―a quaint tourist town full of memories she’d just as soon forget. With her cell phone and laptop always within reach, Lane aims to check on her brother while staying focused on work―something her eclectic family doesn’t understand.
Ryan Brooks never expected to settle down in Harbor Pointe, Michigan, but after his final tour of duty, it was the only place that felt like home. Now knee-deep in a renovation project that could boost tourism for the struggling town, he is thrilled to see Lane, the girl he secretly once loved, even if the circumstances of her homecoming aren’t ideal.
Their reunion gets off to a rocky start, however, when Ryan can’t find a trace of the girl he once knew in the woman she is today. As he slowly chips away at the walls Lane has built, secrets from his past collide with a terrible truth even he is reluctant to believe. Facing a crossroads that could define his future with Lane and jeopardize his relationship with the surrogate family he’s found in the Kelleys, Ryan hopes Lane can see that maybe what really matters has been right in front of her all along―if only she’d just look up.

My Thoughts:
Stock up on tissues, because Courtney Walsh is about to hit all the feels with her newest and most outstanding novel, "Just Look Up"! The story reads like it's from God's ear to Walsh's pen...don't be surprised if it feels like she's somehow read your journal!
"Just Look Up" packs a powerful emotional punch and is filled with characters you'll love,and a few you may want to turn into human pinatas.
But this is more than just entertaining reading. "Just Look Up" is healing and hope-filled, transforming and tender, surprising and satisfying. And did I mention that this is her best book ever?
I cried through 95% of the pages, and I'm so glad I had a digital copy or I would have been left with a soggy mess. I love every book Walsh has written, but she's set the bar mighty high with "Just Look Up", which leaves me very excited to see what she creates next!
Do. Not. Miss. This. Book! "Just Look Up" lands on bookshelves July 2017, but get your order in now. Then check out Courtney Walsh's other excellent titles!
I'm giving "Just Look Up" my "Oh, The Feels" mark of approval, and sending my thanks to my friends at Tyndale Publishing for my advance copy with no services or obligations promised in return. Until the next novel appears...
Mark Your Place,
Deena
