My Review:
Levi Bailey Has Butterflies is the first book I have read by Jen Atkinson, but it will not be the last. The audiobook releases on the 27th, with narrators Rachel L. Jacobs and Oliver Clarke. It should be a fun read or listen :)
I absolutely adored Meredith! Her and Levi together were perfection. From their hilarious meet-cute, continued run-ins, his family, and hers, it was a fabulous story.
Read for:
🚲age gap
🚲learning to ride a bike
🚲the list
🚲socially awkward
🚲Nikki
🚲Uncle Bob and his wisdom
🚲grumpy/sunshine
🚲dual POV
🚲 LOL moments
This one brought out all kinds of feels and I have already started the second book, Owen Bailey Needs Advice, because I was NOT ready for the story to end!
Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
Butterflies? Levi Bailey does not get butterflies. Well, at least he didn’t until Meredith Porter spilled coffee all over him.
Meredith
has plans. Big plans. She is done being safely wrapped in bubble wrap.
She is ready to live. That’s what her list is all about—living and
experiencing. Is it fate that her list of learning, trying, and
experiencing continues to bring her into the path of grumpy Levi Bailey?
She isn’t sure—but she doesn’t mind. Levi is just a misunderstood
cinnamon roll and Meredith plans to enjoy every second of helping him
realize that.
Levi’s life has a routine. He’s been running it for
years. Go to work, care for Mom, watch over the siblings. If he’s
lucky, he’ll get to play with his niece Alice, before his head hits the
pillow at night. It may sound boring, but it’s worked for years. Why
mess with a good thing?
Only… it’s not that great. And now that
his mother isn’t sick and his siblings are grown, they don’t really need
him. Where does that leave Levi? It would seem, in the hands of quirky,
unpredictable Meredith Porter and her list. This girl is too young and
too innocent for the likes of Levi. He has no business taking her to
yoga or teaching her to ride a bike.
He certainly has no business
falling for the twenty-three-year-old who has pretty much been living
under a rock her entire life. Yep… no business at all, and yet there are
a million butterflies disturbing his insides, telling him to kiss the
girl, to give this thing with Meredith a chance. Telling him that maybe,
just maybe, he is worthy of affection from someone as good and pure as
Meredith.
Then again, what do dumb ol’ butterflies know anyway?
This does sound cute! Can't wait to read it...and find out more about the whole bike riding thing. ;D
