This has 1994 views on sex workers: one star
This has a heroine with a life-size stuffed ostrich in her bedroom: four stars.
She also has a conversation pit in 1994: three stars.
3 stars for a whole lot of low key wtf.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

i enjoyed everything but the ending. i didn’t understand how it was okay to kiss “old friends”. and the way the whole situation was resolved wasn’t perfect either to me.

When screenwriter Beth McNee is arrested for solicitation, she sees it as the opportunity of a lifetime to research police procedures by shadowing detective Alex Stanislaski. Soon Beth and Alex are getting up close and personal, but can they overcome the significant differences in their approaches to life and love to be together?
Beth and Alex's opposites attract romance starts out well with a particularly appealing meet-cute and some great character development. Nevertheless, Beth's happy-go-lucky approach to life and her flirty and flighty attitude toward relationships becomes quite annoying. This, together with Alex's prejudiced and judgemental behavior, puts a pall on the second half of the book.
The serial killer plot is underdeveloped, but then this is a contemporary romance rather than a romantic suspense novel. The cameos with the Stanislaski clan are a real highlight, and it is great catching up with the previous happy couples.
Nick and Freddie's book is next. It will be interesting to see how their relationship develops and how the family reacts.
