I was looking for fairly well written, clean, romance book and this book fit the bill.

Characters- 3/5*

They were cute! I really enjoyed the moments of depth within each of there arcs. It exceeded expectations for what us demanded in a base level romance novel and I appreciated that.

Conflict- 3.5/5*

It was really thrilling when we finally got there. But I will say that it kind of came out of nowhere. I wish there was more tension build instead of a surprise from left field.

Plot- 3/5*

It was cute had some really cute twists and turns. I think the rising action was a bit too up and down but besides that it was a good structure.

Setting- 4/5* 

I saw a very clear picture in my head of what these locations looked like. The author really thrives in this category. 

Theme- 2.5/5*

Healing can happen if you are honest with yourself and others. You are not ever meant to be alone. Life is about balance.

Overall Score: 3.2/5⭐️

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a lighthearted romance about a security guard and a movie star

There really should have been a trigger warning in this book for parent loss and liver failure. Five pages into the book and my PTSD was triggered…

I don’t normally like books written in the second person, but once I settled into it, it felt like I was having coffee with a friend. Some parts literally made me LOL and others got me choked up. It’s a good book.
