Written in past and present time lines a fanfic writer accidentally brings her favorite TV character to life.

Ivy’s week alone turns into a situation when Weston, the dreamy lead from her fantasy show, appears in her bedroom, claiming to be her soulmate.

Personally, enemies to lovers is my favorite trope. But IRL I absolutely hate it! Ivy has to face that the stories she wrote might not be what she was hoping for.

Overall, this was a fun, quick, ya read. Sophie Gonzales has a way of writing such effortlessly queer novels. I think perfect on paper might still be my favorite.

VERY cringy amateur fanfic writer-esque.
Definitely not the feel good ya romance novel I was looking for.

Technically 3 stars but I think that’s because (gasp) I’m getting too old for YA and the stars would have only docked because things just felt too young for me.

So basically, It’s 4 stars bc 1. I believe we should review books relative to the genre and 2. This was another great SG and a really clever subversive plot on fanfic which had one especially genuinely funny scene that had me laughing at a book in a way that I haven’t in ages! Yay!
