3.0

I loved the concept (sapphic Jewish romcom on the set of a D-list horror movie) but honestly it’s just meh. I liked the rep and some of the characterization. I appreciate the personal struggle and journey that Lilah goes through as a newly-out bi girl experiencing gay panic. But I’m not a big fan of instalove, and I hate a third act conflict that hinges on a giant miscommunication. Also I think the whole book could’ve done without the stalker sub-plot, and it almost cheapens the romance plot.

This book was a lot of fun. More of the plot hinges on miscommunication than was necessary but I enjoyed the romance and the relationships.
