Tiny House, Big Love by Olivia DadeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Tiny House, Big Love" by Olivia Dade was such a great book! I found it to be sweet and laugh-out-loud funny with incredibly likeable main characters in Lucy and Sebastian. I especially loved watching Lucy rebuild her self-confidence after the pummeling it took from her jerk of an ex-boyfriend, Jarrod. As for Sebastian, I appreciated how supportive he was of Lucy, and while it was clear from the beginning how much he cared about her as a friend, I have to admit there were a couple of times I wanted to shake him into finally admitting his romantic feelings for her. I completely understood why it was difficult for Sebastian to be vulnerable even with someone he trusted as much as Lucy, however, so when he finally did come clean, I wanted to cheer. Sebastian and Lucy really make a great couple, and their transition from friends to lovers seemed completely realistic and believable to me.
I also really enjoyed the descriptions of the tiny houses Lucy and Sebastian toured. I felt like I was right there beside them because the imagery was so vivid. It's a shame they weren't being filmed for a real TV show, because I would love to see these places for myself! Finally, Irene and Cowan, the HATV interns, were hilarious. I could totally see those two getting together in a future story.
I only discovered Olivia Dade's books recently, but she is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. I can't wait to read whatever she publishes next!
