I am loving the famous actor trope! This was so cute and wholesome. Hannah was super relatable, worrying about if she's even lovable, lowkey heartbreaking! She's such a badass character (and very The Bolter coded) and her chemistry with Jack is off the charts!

I liked holding him - and being held. I liked feeling like I mattered to someone.

 Jack is so sweet and I liked the whole forced proximity thing. Them showing their love through their actions is everything! 

people loving you for your best qualities is not the same as people loving you despite your worst.

The second half of this book was definitely better and super engaging!!

I think just because you can't keep something doesn't mean it wasn't worth it. Nothing lasts forever. What matters is what we take with us.

I love the whole scene with Kennedy being jealous and rude and trying to humiliate Hannah by asking who would choose her if they could have Kennedy. AND THEN Jack saying he would IN A HEARTBEAT. and everyone else following suit <3

Such a fun read. Loved the characters. Wish they embellished a bit more on the brother’s relationship but genuinely enjoyed this one throughout!

Goodreads didn’t save my review from my kindle but basically I’m rating this 1 star because the best compliment she got from her boyfriend was that she looked average and ordinary and that was soooo special!! It was very predictable and I didn’t like how the fmc was quite literally talking to the reader.

I had a rough time starting it, thinking I wouldn't like the heroine enough to get through the book, but she grew on me and kept growing on me until I finished the last 1/2 to 2/3 in one night.

I need this book to be turned into a movie.
Im mad at myself for waiting this long to read it, it totally deserves the hype

A lighthearted, sweet, fun read. I’d recommend to anyone who likes rom-coms and secret agent antics. Great for teens and adults. Interesting narrative perspective.

A very very very refreshing read. Romance books had become mundane and somewhat predictable—the double negative of reading so many books. see what I did there

But this was romantic and realistic, and I absolutely adored it. Thank you, Katherine Center. I am grateful that I get to read your books.

I just loved this adorable, uplifting rom-com. In her author's note, she writes "I always want my stories to be about love, and light, and making sense of hard times, and getting back up after life has knocked us down. I always want them to make us all (me included) laugh and swoon...and give us something wise to hold on to...and...how the right story at the right time can lift you up in ways that feel like a rescue." That statement perfectly sums up my reading experience with this book.
