Zoe is a regular college girl who randomly tweets her celebrity crush one day and is shocked when he not only tweets back, but follows and DMs her. They meet and start dating but try to keep their relationship private. It’s a little predictable- tropes I’ve read before- but a really fun ride. I loved the scenes at Disneyland, especially.

Content warning: very steamy kissing, but a big plot point is that Zoe has chosen to be celibate until marriage (although there is innuendo)

There is no smug in this book. It is a slow burn romance that will melt your heart. So if you're in need of a low angst read with cute, adorable characters, then this is the book for you.

All in all it was a good written story. I took some stars off because of the celibacy thing. I’m too old for that kind of stuff. Probably would be better for YA fans. Peace :)

Light fluffy read that delivers exactly what is promised. Loved it - cliches and all. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a fast fluffy read!

This was so good. I laughed, smiled, and even cried a bit. I’m pretty sure the entire time I was reading this, I had the goofiest grin on my face. But I couldn’t help it, the characters were just too adorable. For once, I actually really liked the main character since Zoe was just so down to Earth, sensible, and funny. And Chase, her love interest, was absolutely amazing. No other words needed. I’m definitely going to be binging on Sariah Wilson’s other books now, and I can’t wait to start.

Some funny quotes that made me laugh:

(This is Zoe talking about her love for board games): “Trivial Pursuit games ended with me drinking the tears of my fellow players and leaving a trail of their bloodied hearts all over the board.”

And when Zoe’s friend Lexi compliments her, this is her mental response: “The only way I’d ever be smoking hot is if I were cremated, but I loved her [Lexi] for saying it.
At least somebody thought I was hot.”

4.5 stars

Note: Not squeaky clean. There are some mild/ not so mild kissing scenes, but nothing worse than that.

This was a fast paced romance novel. Chase an actor who was burned in the past in relationships. Zoe Miller who crushes all over Chase. Zoe's roommate and best friend end up as an extra in Chase's new movie. Zoe tweets at Chase and she is surprised that he tweeted back at her. The two start a romance with each other until things blow up. The tabloids tell a false story about Zoe which Chase thinks that she gave them private information about the couple. Zoe keeps the secret from everyone that she is dating Chase Covington. This story was typical some drama happens that pulls the couple apart then the male in this case Chase realizes he was wrong to be so harsh against Zoe. He apologizes to her for not trusting her. They get back together in the end. You knew something was going to happen that the romance was to good to be true but in the end the two find out they really like each other. I guess the book was too predictable.

DNF. Just boring, there is sexual tension, but it goes no where. I don't get why write a no-sex book with a ton of sexual tension in it? either commit to being hallmark movie "clean" or be a traditional romance book. And a side note, has a dose of very annoying kids and toddler talk.
