In Bloom by Katie Delahanty was a fantastic surprise.  This book had it all!  Humor, wit, a little sexiness, anticipation, some light angst, self-discovery and great characters.  This story was well written with a terrific narrative that flowed seamlessly.  The pages just melted away.  In Bloom is full of marvelous characters.  Liv and Berkeley, who felt so real and genuine, were so well developed.  They honestly felt genuine.  Blair, Parker, Boots and Liv’s mom were hilarious, warm and supportive.  This author’s storytelling was unique (loved the tweets) and charming.  Some books have moments where the reader may struggle to get through scenes or chapters, but reading In Bloom felt effortless for me.  I enjoyed how the storyline developed and how all the individual encounters between Liv and Berkeley seemed by chance, yet later all the connections are realized.  In Bloom isn’t filled with graphic sexual encounters but the anticipation…Oh the anticipation!!  The musical references and honesty were endearing to the story.  In Bloom was entertaining for me without being too heavy, too young or too complex.  This author put together a fabulous story that left this reader feeling satisfied, albeit wanting more.  I will definitely be keeping Katie Delahanty on my radar and look forward to more books from this author.  Give In Bloom a try!  Happy Reading. 4.0 – 4.5 stars
