Solid. I would say it's a 3.5 but I liked [b:The Right Swipe|39863092|The Right Swipe (Modern Love, #1)|Alisha Rai|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1564550901l/39863092._SY75_.jpg|61659253] better so I put it at 3. I really liked the characters but thought the plot dragged a little, especially at the end. Cute tho!

I'm going to be real with yall, my expectations were sky-high. Katrina was my favorite side character in The Right Swipe and I was dying to know how her story would play out. Alisha Rai was able to exceed my expectations with this one! There were absolutely cute moments, but also complexities involving Katrina's anxiety and panic disorder (personally of which I felt were well written). Alisha Rai's ability to balance heavy topics in this contemporary romance makes this series one of my absolute favorites.
I received an ecopy of this through Edelweiss; however, all opinions are my own.

The Vulnerability in this book!!!! I enjoyed this book so much! I loved the characters and the dynamic between them. I really love the way Alisha tells a story and her characters.

Sexy! This was on the fluff side of my taste, but I really enjoyed the relationship that developed for Katrina. And, how good-hearted she was without being self satisfied with that fact. Her friends were friends I want, loyal and honest, ready to push her when she needs it. The whole book just felt... real.
Definitely a commentary on privacy in the age of social media.

I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Former model Katrina King values her privacy, mostly because of a previous kidnapping and an anxiety condition. Now she helps fund start-ups, and is working with a therapist; she's finally found ten places she can go outside of the house without having a panic attack. Everything is going great, until she shares a table at a cafe on a busy day.
Jas Singh has been Katrina's personal bodyguard ever since her late husband died, and was part of their security team ever since he came back from a tour of duty that ended with a medical discharge. He likes his job. And he likes Katrina more. And not just because she's a great boss. He's been ignoring his problems, though, until he is forced to face them...
When that day at the cafe results in Katrina going viral against her will as #CuteCafeGirl, part of a made-up Twitter saga documenting her supposed meet-cute with #CafeBae, Katrina wants to be anywhere but home. Jas whisks her away to his family's farm in Northern California. While tucked away in safety, will they address the growing feelings between them?
This second installment in Rai's "Modern Love" series is just as fun, flirty, and timely as the first. "Girl Gone Viral" is fantastic, as are Katrina and Jas! You'll be rooting for them from start to finish!
