Recommended Books to Read: Then Came You by Jen Atkinson

Wondering ‘What should I read next?’ Then Came You by Jen Atkinson.

Natalie Noel and Marcela Brooks have completely different problems, come from totally different worlds, but they would both identify themselves by one word—broken. 

Single mom, Natalie, suffers from a lost love and a guilt ridden soul that won’t allow her love herself. When a friendly fireman notices her and refuses to take a hint that she just isn’t interested, her goal to disappear and never be noticed is thwarted. 

Marcela’s only concern should be keeping her secret. She’s made great efforts to get this little town, far from New York, and far from her past. She’s actually discovered she can love herself again—but that’s completely different than loving someone else. That isn’t in the cards for Marcela, until she meets Nick. He is the shy Natalie Noel’s brother, and for some strange reason Natalie seems determined to set the two up. She wouldn’t if she knew who Marcela really was… 

Still, through the quiet girl’s efforts Marcela and Natalie find a friendship they hadn’t expected—one that changes everything.
