I thought it was a fun, light read about two people getting a second chance at love! I think a lot of their issues from the beginning could have been solved by communicating, but that always seems to be the case lol. I loved Ransom and his arc, but I wanted more from Liv. Their banter was fun, though, and they had strong chemistry.

I really enjoyed this book as a simple, quick read. I found Liv and Ransom typical love interests for a Celebrity Romance Novel, but I thought it was incredibly sweet, and I love a childhood friends/crushes to lovers situation. 

The gossip media between the chapters was such a fun way to see the outside perspectives on what was happening since we were only getting Liv's perspective. I actually wish this was Duel-POV because I think it would have benefitted from some of Ransom's thoughts and interactions since we only heard about them second-hand. 

I also wish we would have gotten more on Sasha-Kate, especially since we got these small moments of her emotions, but she could have been fleshed out more. 

Lastly, Liv's dad's death was so shocking to me, it pulled me out of the book;
I cannot believe he died like Princess Di...


Altogether an easy read that I would recommend to people looking for fun, especially those looking for closed doors!
