This was a sweet and mostly lighthearted romance. I enjoyed it but it didn’t quite have that extra thing for me. I enjoyed both main characters, their dynamic was lovely, and I always enjoy the acting/Hollywood trope. What I didn’t love was how often ida kept saying not coming out for so much of her life meant she didn’t have enough self respect——that’s some bullshit. Your sexuality is no one’s business but your own, and that doesn’t at all mean you don’t respect yourself if you never choose share that with anyone. I dunno I don’t think that was the overall message trying to be pushed or anything, but some variation of that came up a few times and it really rubbed me the wrong way. All in all, this was a fun lighthearted romance with impeccable narration.

I recently read my first Harper Bliss book and I was so overjoyed that there was a massive amount of books available as ebooks on my book app. The best feeling for sure. Only my second but I loved it. Loved the "older" couple, rare in romance. It's lesbian ,(yay) and about actors (double yay). So eager to read !ore by this author as I've enjoyed the two romances so far and I'm eager to see what more she has to offer

This book is fantastic. As someone who has found herself coming out of two different closets this past couple of years, I related so much to both Ina and Faye. Also how much of this is just focussed on kissing is intoxicating. There's something about lesbian kissing that just never gets old. This is the perfect balance between sexy romantic antics and actually having something to say. I loved it.

This book took awhile for me to get into. At first the characters just felt so similar to me and I couldn't remember who was who and what was going on, but as soon as things started to get going I was hooked and loved it. Both characters go through their own arcs discovering their own identity and how their sexuality fits into that and I really appreciated it.

While I quite enjoyed the story and setting the fact that this books talks so much about coming out and how hard it can be but also freeing and all that but they seem to forget other queer people exist besides gay and lesbians feels so eh. I also wish we had more on the actresses besides the fact they are actresses. We know nothing at all about their lives and families etc
