My Review:

Amy is a new believer, and her sister, Emma, has given her a list of things she now "must" do. It is overwhelming, and Amy is determined to figure it all out on her own; she doesn't need someone else telling her what to do.

From the moment she enters the church and meets Jason, you are rooting for them. It took me a hot minute to realize that this Jason was Emma's best friend Jason (I don't know why). 

I liked the book and the characters, but I felt like something was missing. I can't put my finger on it, but that was the feeling I got as I was reading. I appreciated Amy's journey and character growth. Jason didn't seem as put together as he was in the first book, and maybe that was part of my disconnect.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

Code and Couture is a romantic story of fashion, faith, and finding your true purpose among everyone else's expectations.
Amy Trinket's perfectly tailored life is unraveling. She allowed success and expectations to be defined by her mother, by society, and by an unspoken need for validation. But when she adjusts her priorities and has her questioning everything from her wardrobe to her ambitions, she resolves to learn the answers on her own. The last thing she expects is to find that her sister’s boss and best friend might hold the answer to all her personal and professional questions.
Jason Miller walked away from the expectations that once defined him and programmed his own path. He understands Amy's need to make her own choices and commits to helping her, even when their undeniable chemistry threatens to blur the line of friendship. As Amy steps into the life she never expected to live, her new world collides with the one Jason left behind, leaving them both scrambling to decide what matters most when designing your future.
