Summertime romance 🌻💛📙

He grew up without a mother. She grew up doubting her purpose. They revived something in each other🌻 Brushed By You by MK Morris📚

#brushedbyyou #smalltownromance #summerreads #mkmorris #booktok

6/21 Edited to

Reading 'Brushed By You' resonated deeply with me because it captures the essence of healing through connection. The story of two people who carry their own scars yet find solace in each other is beautifully told. Growing up without a mother or doubting one’s purpose are struggles that often feel isolating, but here, they are met with empathy and hope. What struck me most was the portrayal of small town life as a backdrop—not just a setting, but a character itself fostering close connections and second chances. The quote from the image, “You can decorate love however you want,” perfectly sums up the story’s approach to romance. It reminded me of my own experiences with unconventional relationships and how love doesn’t always fit into neat boxes. For readers looking for meaningful small town romance this summer, this book offers more than just a love story; it’s about rediscovering joy in life’s simplest moments and finding peace through others. It’s a refreshing reminder that happy endings are possible even when the past feels heavy. Plus, if you enjoy touching narratives shared on booktok or exploring heartfelt summer reads, ‘Brushed By You’ is a must-add to your list.
