Went into this blind and completely loved it! The character development, the representation, the adorable love story - it all worked! 

One thing I didn't appreciate was how 1-dimensional kenzie was portrayed, and how her part in the book felt rushed. 

Loved that Hollen was able to do her on stage debut on her own, without Jasper

rakizaka's review

Hollyn was a little too relatable, to the point where it felt weird reading about her in a romantic setting

Adults with anxiety, lots of improv, cute romance

Pretty good writing. Sometimes felt like the characters were a little too juvenile for their age, but overall I enjoyed it.

I absolutely adore this book. This is my second time actually reviewing a book. I would have read it in 1-2 days but I purposely slowed down and actually read 80% and then started over so I could go back to points that I had not paid attention to. 

The characters are unique and fun to read. I love the improv angle - first book I've read where that's a MC job. I love the NOLA setting, and how each MC had so much self doubt and challenging childhoods they had to overcome. I also didn't know much about Tourettes which the author does a great job of explaining. I also love that therapy is just a given in the MC's life and not something that is a new addition.

This book is lot steamier than I would have guessed when I started. Do bear that in mind!
