If you need to satisfy your “celebrity/big city girl needs to escape to the small town/normal life,” I would suggest you watch Notting Hill or read Book Lovers

The small town setting was a win for me, of course. I love it when the townspeople gets into the couple's business hahaha. Noah's sisters and his best friend were great side characters, but also his grandma's bestie was quite the hoot too.
I loved that this was just fluff and has some serious tones to it as well, mostly surrounding Amelia as she tries to navigate who she is in real life besides her famous, pop star persona, Rae. As well as Noah with his grandma and how he is coping with the major life changes.
It was absolutely delightful and the perfect book to pick up for a quick read. The Cheat Sheet will be my next read by Adams!
TROPES:
- small town
- forced proximity
- grumpy x sunshine
- hate to love (more like annoyed to love haha)
- celebrity romance
- closed door
- dual POV

I really related to this story in terms of Amelia’s self doubts, mental and physical exhaustion as well as Noah’s reluctance to open up to people and love again. I’m so proud of them both for their journey as a couple and as individuals.
The story is such a heartwarming, beautiful romance, but packs a punch of emotional scenes and quotes too. The romance had me smiling from ear to ear and Noah is just the perfect gentleman! When in Rome had me both laughing and crying (yes, I even cried at the dedication because I miss my nan too) and I hated the thought of finishing it.
