Mikha Jo | 3 comments First of all, I'm looking for a specific book of this author (that I obviously forgot the name) but I've read two books of hers. So, I'm going to talk about the two of them since it could make things easier. I've read the two books about two years ago. While reading the books I've discovered that they have a lot in common (in terms of character).
So, let's go

The first one is about a girl who changes city with her family(I think 🤔). Her brother is in prison. So, her parents put a lot of pressure on her. While she drives in the neighborhood, she comes across a pizzeria and decides to eat there. When she enters the pizzeria, she sees a boy (who is about the same age as her and is the love interest) leafing through a school book. She becomes friend with the sister of the boy. All of them are going to the same school. Her friend's mother is sick and is in a wheelchair. Her friend's brother (the love interesting) receive a lot of pressure on his shoulder, because his dad want him to be the owner of the pizzeria one day. Obviously, he doesn't want to. Later on the story, she finally go out with the guy, but doesn't want to tell her friend about it, because she's scared that she'll not be okay with it. One day, a friend of her brother (who I think also went to prison) who is like 3 years older than her come to visit her family. He than try, forcibly, to make a move on her, but her father come to her rescue and punch him.

I don't recall at all the second book I read of this author. It's a girl who's mother put a lot of pressure on her shoulder (yeah..again) because her sibling left the house suddenly. She fall in love and go out with a guy that seems like a bad guy at first (all I can remember about him is that he wears locks and he's intelligent). At first, her mother did not like him, but she saw that he was intelligent and a gentleman, she changer mind. Later on the story, he change drastically of behavior and hit her (I don't even recall why) and her mother start yelling at him. Then, at the end of the story she meets with her sibling and they talk.

I really have a bad memory and English isn't my first language, so it was difficult to write. Anyway I hope y'all can help me.

Mikha Jo | 3 comments thank you so much, it's exactly what I was looking for!!! Have you read those before?

Ayshe | 4721 comments Great! No, I haven't read them, I googled "move to" brother prison pizzeria romance site:goodreads.com, "Saint Anything" was the first result and then had a look at the reviews and the Amazon preview, it seemed to match :)

Mikha Jo | 3 comments I feel kinda embarrassed now that I know that it was so easy. Next time I'll try not to write a full sentence on the bar research when I'll look for a book. Anyway, thank you so much.
