Usually after the initial gimmick wears off in a romance book, it can feel like filler, but that didn’t happen here. Seeing the stark contrast between the characters as 18/21 and then meeting them again in their early/mid thirties was a great way to keep the conflict fresh and keep the plot moving.
I liked the premise and the settings, the world of the set was so real and immersive. I also loved the way that our main character Tater had real and impactful relationships with people other than the MMC Sam.
The main point of conflict is that Tate’s secret (that she is the daughter of a movie star) is revealed by Sam to the press, right after their brief teenage romance. Yet, once they are older, Sam’s reasoning felt stale and their new relationship seems mostly based on physical chemistry and nostalgia. I’m not sure I’m 100% sold on them as a couple, but I was enjoying myself reading this, and will definitely keep picking up Christina Lauren books.

A teensy little part of me (a big part actually but i love christina lauren so i let it slide) is upset that there isn't more. I felt like there wasn't a lot of Tate and Sam reunited, which was all I was waiting for the whole book

I wanted to like it more. It had similarities to the notebook but didn’t hit as well?
Twice in a Blue Moon opens with high school graduate Tate traveling to London with her grandmother, and by chance meeting college guy Sam, who is traveling with his grandfather. Coincidentally, they are all staying at the same hotel. The four get to know each other and eat meals together and sight-see. Tate and Sam hit it off right away, with Sam being very vocal and not at all shy about his feelings for Tate. One night, Tate divulges her biggest secret to Sam, trusting that he would never repeat it. But alas, that was not to be. Once her secret is revealed to the press, Tate is thrust into the spotlight and begins a successful acting career.
14 years later, and Tate is about to star in her biggest film to date, with a script she fell in love with. She hasn't seen or heard from Sam since London all those years ago, but she's never forgotten him. On the set of her new movie, she comes face to face with her past, and has to decide whether to follow her heart to true love or be cautious and walk away.
In true Christina Lauren fashion, this was an adorable read. It is a little slower and less realistic than their other novels, but nonetheless is a quick, cute read. While I found the circumstances of Tate and Sam's meeting and falling in love so quickly a little unrealistic, it is a fictional book, so unrealistic is perfectly ok. I did think Sam was a little mature and vocal about his feelings for Tate for a 21-year-old guy (how many college guys do you know spilling their feelings to a girl they met a few days ago??). I love Christina Lauren books though because they are always a cute read with a steamy scene or two, and a happy ending, and this did not disappoint.
