[Read by Matilda Novak]

After tirelessly climbing the ranks of her Chicago-based interior design firm, Lane Kelley is about to land her dream promotion when devastating news about her brother draws her back home -- a quaint tourist town full of memories she'd just as soon forget. With her cell phone and laptop always within reach, Lane aims to check on her brother while staying focused on work -- something her eclectic family doesn't understand.

Ryan Brooks never expected to settle down in Harbor Pointe, Michigan, but after his final tour of duty, it was the only place that felt like home. Now knee-deep in a renovation project that could boost tourism for the struggling town, he is thrilled to see Lane, the girl he secretly once loved, even if the circumstances of her homecoming aren't ideal.

Their reunion gets off to a rocky start, however, when Ryan can't find a trace of the girl he once knew in the woman she is today. As he slowly chips away at the walls Lane has built, secrets from his past collide with a terrible truth even he is reluctant to believe. Facing a crossroads that could define his future with Lane and jeopardize his relationship with the surrogate family he's found in the Kelleys, Ryan hopes Lane can see that maybe what really matters has been right in front of her all along -- if only she'd just look up.

A great story that works on different levels

Reviewed in Australia on 22 October 2017

I requested a review copy of Just Look Up because I’d heard so many good things about it. Surely it couldn’t possibly measure up?

It did.
Lane is an interior designer up for a big promotion at work when her mother calls to say her brother is on life support following a motorcycle accident. She returns home, but is immediately thrown into conflict with everyone in her family (except perhaps her father, who only gets about two lines in the whole novel). The reasons behind this conflict are gradually revealed as the novel progresses

Ryan was also in the motorcycle accident, but escaped with minor injuries. He’s from a bad background, but he’s made something of himself—with the help of the Kelley family, who were surrogate parents for him and his sister throughout his teenage years. He’s always had feelings for Lane, but never felt good enough for her. Now he meets the adult Lane, he realises she has issues, and he might be able to help.

Just Look Up was a great title that worked on many levels.
There was the obvious, that we have to look up to see the world around us, to live. Lane spent much of time looking down at her phone that she missed what was going on around her. And the more subtle, the way Lane consciously or subconsciously looked down on herself.

It seemed to me that looking down was a habit formed early in her teenage years, where she looked down because of her low self-esteem. I could relate to this—and I suspect many grown women can, especially those of us who were bookish teenagers who were never part of the ‘cool’ crowd.

To me, Just Look Up showed the lie that many of us believe in our teenage years.
The lie that we don’t fit in because aren’t good enough. Lane was different to the others in her family—lactose intolerant in a family that made and sold cheese for a living, unattractive and unpopular (or so she thought) in a family that were attractive and popular.

What especially hurt for Lane was that her family perpetuated the lie through their ‘harmless’ name calling (‘Pudge’ is not term of endearment. Ever). The result, I think, was a teenager and adult who never understood how precious she was to God, because she never felt she was precious to her family.

Overall, Just Look Up is a story about how achieving our dreams might not be everything we thought it might be, but the answer might have been in front of us all along. Recommended.

Good- but give the reader some credit

First, there were a lot of great things in this book. Walsh does a great job of introducing characters and giving you a sense of their personalities.She also creates setting well along with an intriguing plot. My issue with the writing was that Walsh doesn't seem to trust her reader. With in the first chapter the fact that Lane "needed the promotion", "she'd worked so hard", and this "was everything she'd worked for" was pounded into our brains over and over and over. She does the same thing with Ryan and his need to build the cabins and do his part to bring tourism back to his town. In the end, I was glad I read the entire book, but during the first chapter I was questioning if I made a mistake buying it. I wished Walsh would state something once and trust her readers to remember the fact, rather than chock up the pages with repetition.

Clean Romance with Important Life Lessons

Reviewed in the United States on 11 November 2020

"Just Look Up" is a clean romance with important life lessons of forgiveness, bravery, love of self and others.

Lane Kelley is a successful interior designer who is well on her way to a big promotion, but a family crisis brings her back home where her deepest hurts were acquired. Those hurts have been locked away into the tiniest parts of her heart, and to cope she buries herself in work while there to avoid confrontation.

I absolutely related to this character. The bullying and rejection of friends/peers Lane received as a child and teen about her looks are very similar to those I used to receive. Those hurts really do follow you into adulthood and color every relationship you have.

Courtney Walsh really dives into the realities and consequences of bullying. She develops the character to realize and be shown that forgiveness is important to all parties who are sincere in their apology. This book also shows the family dynamics and no matter how good of a family you come from, there are always disappointments, hurts, and the reality that no family is perfect. Lane figures out that it takes courage, grace, and love to work at all relationships. She discovers bravery and her worthiness of love for who she is and not what she looks like, as well as the importance of unplugging and connecting in person with those around you.

Of course, there is the hero of the story. Ryan Brooks learns forgiveness as well. He learns to forgive his father, and also learns that how you grow up does not mean you have to repeat those same steps. You can use your childhood to be a different man than what was modeled to you. Also, his story shows the importance of good men in the lives of young boys.

5/5 would recommend!

A Lovely Page Turner!

" . . . a place to belong . . . . it had been there all along . . . But she had never looked up . . . . "

For all intents and purposes, Lane Kelly is super-glued to her high profile interior design career in Chicago; answering every text, posting on every blog, keeping up with the competition and its incessant chatter on social media, all in hopes of "making it", proving to herself and others that she is somehow worthy of their admiration. When a desperate phone call interrupts one of the most important presentations of her career, Lane forces herself to take a trip down memory lane and returns home to the family that she left behind in the quaint, quiet, little town
of Harbor Point, Michigan.

Ryan Brooks has not laid eyes on Lane Kelly in years, but the memory of her rushes back, filling his senses with unexpected fascination. She's gorgeous, and poised, and stoic; sitting in an ICU unit beside her brother who has just barely survived the same motorcycle accident that Ryan was in, only Nate lies in a coma. Of course she came. It's only as Ryan tries to slip back into the easy camaraderie they once shared as teens, that he begins to realize how deeply Lane was wounded by the people that should have loved her the most.

There are so many reasons to celebrate this story, but rising above them all is the reminder to view ourselves as our Creator sees us; loved far beyond our misconceptions and mistakes, for the Son of the carpenter is, and always will be, in the restoration business.
