Just A Little (Just A Little #1-4)

When a class assignment requires seventeen-year-old Julie to shadow someone on the job, she’s overwhelmed by the decisions she’ll have to make. After all, she has no clue what she wants from life post-graduation. So when her Uncle Charlie, Oakland’s Chief of Police, suggests Julie fulfill her twenty hours of required job shadowing at the local police department, she’s thrilled at his solution. Thinking she’ll spend her days filing paperwork behind a desk, she finds herself quickly agreeing to his proposition. But Julie’s expectations are quickly turned upside down when she meets Luke, the young and handsome (albeit somewhat stubborn) officer she’s assigned to shadow on patrol. With every hour she logs with Luke at the wheel, her feelings stir deeper, and Julie can’t help but wonder if what she’s feeling has developed into more than just a little crush.
The first four books in this series throws a lot of drama at us, there’s angst and my heart strings were pulled a little more the further I got. This series has always been one of my favorites and I love going back to read them over and over again. I love the characters, the development of Julie is definitely a plus too. I hope that you take my recommendation and grab at least the first four and read them, hopefully enjoy them as much too.
When we first meet Julie, she’s a bit on the whiny side over some class project that she doesn’t want to do. I can see her point, because who really knows or knew what they were going to do right after high school. Or, if you do know what you want to do, sometimes it just doesn’t work out. Julie Little’s life hasn’t been the easiest, that’s something we can kind of figure out from the beginning. Now add in the fact that she has to do this project, thought by agreeing to her uncle Charlie’s idea, it would be a walk in the cake. Who wouldn’t think something like that? Boy oh boy was she wrong. Then add in the fact that Julie and Luke fight like crazy, but he’s so freaking cute, how can she really stay mad at him?
