Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC. There are things I loved (including the last chapter). There are things I’m not quite sure worked. Maybe it’s because insta-love isn’t a trope I tend to vibe with? I want to be fair and say that I think a lot of the reason I don’t love this is because I recently read How to Fake it in Hollywood, which follows some very similar themes, but, imo, does it better. I still think LOTS of readers will enjoy this. ...more

My feelings on this were complicated: I loved Aly and the whole gang (would totally read a Ben/Eric book). However, I agree with what many other reviewers pointed out: There was very little actual romance in this book! I also can’t even count how many times the word “snorted” was written. I enjoyed the ending but this just didn’t hit for me.
Really enjoyed this, and really like the cast of characters, but I’m not sure it’s particularly well written.

And so many fun tropes that I love to see when I read romance! The ending was absolutely perfect as well - of course we read romance novels in part for the predictable endings, but what Wilder does here is really special and actually had me in tears. 4.5 stars.

I loved this and couldn't put it down - stayed up all night reading it. I will say that I guessed the twist, which I'm actually pretty proud of, but that didn't take anything away from the story. This book was so unexpected and I had no idea that I would cry so much! So glad I listened to all of the good reviews, even if I was a bit late on it! ...more
