If you’re looking for a Hallmark movie in a book, this is one of the very few I have found. Full of wholesome moments and relevant discussions about social media with no smut in sight. 

I agree that the cover does not match the setting of the book. Definitely a winter read!!

This was just… fine. It had potential, but I felt like all of the character development happened offscreen. The jump from the last chapter to the epilogue did not feel earned to me.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars.

Cat Cranwell is a social media influencer whose career is unexpectedly placed into free fall when she is tied to a data theft scandal. Struggling to rebuild her image, she relocates to Montana, where she begins working as a social media manager for her park ranger uncle—and finds herself drawn to Zaiah, another park ranger and her polar opposite.

Thank you again to BookSparks for my gifted copy and to Libro.fm for my gifted ALC! I read a bit of this one in my physical copy, but found I really enjoyed it on audio, so the bulk of my read was in that format. It was a fun, quick, lighthearted listen, exactly the kind of book I most enjoy as an audiobook!

This book feels exactly like a Hallmark movie in so many ways—big city girl goes to a small town, cute and sweet romance with minimal steam, and a lovable and slightly quirky cast of side characters. I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying that this one focuses more on Cat’s journey than on the romance itself, and I think that’s correct—her development and character arc is definitely the core of this story and the driving force behind the plot.

If you want something fun and cheerful and enjoy these tropes, give this one a try!

Recommended if you like: small town romance; city-girl-to-rural-life; self-discovery mixed with romance

CW: Mentions of domestic violence; discussions of addiction (to technology)

Thank you to Libro.FM for providing me with an audiobook of Famous For A Living. This was such a fun literary fiction about a social media influence facing being cancelled. She moves to work with her uncle in the middle of nowhere and meets a man who detests any type of social media… and of course romance ensues!
