Christina Lauren’s Tangled Up in You is a captivating exploration of personal growth, connection, and the transformative power of unexpected relationships. The novel follows Ren, a sheltered but brilliant young woman who has spent her life off the grid, and Fitz, a charming but troubled man with a past he'd rather forget.
