Full of classic miscommunication tropes but I loved it so much.
This slow burn had really good banter. I felt like this had a meet cute and the fact that she was the stalker'ish' one was a nice change of pace. I like that they end up working together and they help each other grow.

Messy in all the right ways! Loved the Irish main interest. The main character was smart and passionate. Awesome summer read.

Not my favorite by this author. My quibbles, in order of importance, were: 1) this is not how Broadway works. They would replace the violinist with another union violinist and that would be that. I am willing to suspend my disbelief in some ways but this honestly just felt a little lazy. 2) I didn't really like Holland that much, she's too meek for my taste 3) Calvin made some messed up choices and I don't think really properly apologized for them 4) Holland had a bullshit problem at the end of the novel that delayed the resolution unnecessarily, and then 5) the resolution happened too fast at the end. And finally, 6) it's called "front of house" and if you had asked literally anyone who had ever worked in theater, they would have told you that.

Mini disclaimer: Zionist authors, this particular book does not have any Israel propaganda but I think it's important to know this
I read this book since I had it on my Kindle before I knew the stance of the authors and for a reading challenge I have on Twitter trying to make my TBR list smaller, specially for books that have been there for years

Despite this taking me a month to read (it's been an extremely busy month), I've completely loved this book and fallen in love with the characters. It has made me want to marry Calvin and I wish we could see more of them or have an epilogue but beggers can't be choosers. Christina Lauren is definitely one of my favourite author(s) and their books are so easy to read and just take you away to a different wholesome world.
