Solid read once I got over that it’s set in two of my least favorite places: LA and NJ.

This book is messy, real, steamy, and achingly sad in all the best ways.
When the FMC is hired to help adapt her bestselling book series into a TV show, she learns that the screenwriter attached is the man whose car her younger sister ran in front of—years ago, in a devastating suicide. What follows is a slow, emotionally intense unraveling of grief, guilt, and forbidden connection. Can she work with the man tied to her greatest loss? Can she let herself feel again—especially when those feelings turn romantic?
This is not a lighthearted love story. It's full of grief, longing, family silence, and the complicated ethics of moving on. The romance is steamy but also raw and human—made even more intense by the secret they have to keep from her parents.
If you’re looking for a romance with depth, nuance, and grief woven tightly into every line, this one will hit you hard.

Okay I really liked this book and it made me tear up. The only thing I didn't like was how unrealistically fast Helen went from hating him to being obsessed with him. But overall, I fear I ate it up

I liked the premise but I think certain things fell flat for me -
1) the FMC blaming the MMC for being there at the wrong place wrong time yet still banging him
2) the MMC for knowing how triggering him showing up lalalalala can be and not even giving the FMC a heads up?
