The
Book Junkie Reads . . . Called Up (Calling It, #2) . . .
Sometimes they say the
backstory tells it all. In this case having backstory was necessary to move
forward with Deke and Fitz. Their past shaped their present and was making
waves for their futures. This friends to lovers had more than just being
friends to connect them. There was so much more behind it all and it was needed
to make their bond so complete. I believed that neither took it lightly when
they made that step to become more than just friends.
This coming together has
witty banter, a delicate sweetness, and a rich passion that focuses in on the
two and all they had between them. After traversing the past to the present
things work in favor of both Fitz and Deke. They had a connection that just
could not go unclaimed.
This was my first read
from Jen Doyle and I have mixed emotions to go along with this read. I was
feeling a little like I missed something with the story. There were so many
characters thrown at me during the beginning I was not sure I was in the right book.
Then as I progressed further and move beyond all the tangled webs I was able to
see the story being presented to me.

Angelica “Fitz” Hawkins
knows for a fact that it is not better to have loved and lost.
After losing her parents, she’d rather lock up her heart and throw away the key
than endure that kind of pain again. If that means giving up any hope of a
lasting relationship, then so be it.
With Deke, Fitz finally
feels like she's back in the land of the living. But she won’t risk
another broken heart—even if it means saying good-bye to Deke for good. It’s up
to Deke to convince her that the safest place she could ever be is right here
with him.
