BOOKWORM REVIEW: Rich in Your Love by Pippa Grant


RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

The Lightly Family is still in Tickled Pink, Wisconsin as matriarch Estelle "Gigi" Lightly is forcing her entire clan to save their souls by helping the town.

Social media influencer Tavi is counting down the days until she finally meets Gigi's requirements for soul redemption. This way she can promptly jump on a plane to Costa Rica and get back to the cacao farm that she is trying to restore.

But Gigi is a hard rock to move, so when Tavi is charged to help the town's tourism, she crosses paths with Dylan Wright, reformed delinquent turned town plumber. Dylan is nursing his heart, which is unknowingly broken by his best friend Hannah. She is married to someone else, is now having her husband's baby, and has zero idea that Dylan has been in love with her all this time.

Dylan has decided that working with Tavi might be the key to distracting him from his Hannah problem, but as he starts to peel the layers that is Octavia Lightly, can he keep his feelings at bay?

If you have read the first book in the Tickled Pink series, you know to expect a wild ride with Pippa Grant's quirky small-town characters. And this book delivered.

You will feel a whole lot of things with this read: compassion, heartache, angst, joy, romance. I love the arc of Tavi and Dylan's slow-burn connection. They start as two people who understand each other when no one else in their life really did. They become friends and secret-keepers until they finally acknowledge that simmering tension every time they are in close proximity. 

I love how despite their different paths in life, their circumstances have some common ground, the biggest one is living up to other people's expectations and perceptions. Dylan had done some crazy things as a kid, but the town folks in Tickled Pink have -- for the most part -- forgiven him for them. Meanwhile, Tavi successfully lives up to nearly impossible expectations but she rarely gets a break from the constant hustle.

This is the second book in the Tickled Pink series, but it can be read as a standalone. Grant does a great job of providing context for those who are new to the series.

** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. Thank you to Pippa Grant, Montlake, and Netgalley for providing an ARC. **

ABOUT THE BOOK

A sweet, lighthearted romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Pippa Grant about one social media influencer’s dream of going off the grid and the IRL love she finds along the way.

Secrets always catch up with you. The world knows me as Tavi Lightly, sugar-free social media influencer. But my true purpose lies in secretly restoring a cacao farm in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, to save the farm, I need access to the trust fund that my grandmother has frozen. She’s requiring me to do charity work in Tickled Pink, Wisconsin, and until I meet her ultimatum—no trust fund. So to Tickled Pink I go.

My first grandmother-approved charity project? Helping local reformed bad boy Dylan Wright. He has secrets too, like how he’s hung up on his married best friend. Kick-starting his dating life is as easy as making him famous through association with me.

Not so easy is the fact that we’re falling for each other. He belongs in Tickled Pink, and I belong on my farm. We might share our secrets with one another, but can we really share our lives too?
