I mostly enjoyed this one, but for a second chance romance, I didn’t quite feel the emotional impact of their past. Their relationship from film school seven years ago was described as fast and furious, but I don't know, it wasn't fleshed out enough for me to fully connect with their present day romance.
It also didn’t help that they took so long to address what actually went wrong, and with Danny being in a relationship for a good chunk of the book, it added some petty ex-girlfriend drama that wasn’t my favourite.
That said, I really loved these characters, especially Kaliyah. She’s spent years working as a receptionist, waiting for a chance to prove herself, and I was completely invested in her story. Seeing Hollywood through her eyes was really enlightening. She knows the industry inside and out, and I was rooting so hard for her to finally get her moment to shine. Her personal journey (and her friendship with Neha) was definitely a highlight for me!

I already know my ass is going to be in a reading slump after this one. So fucking deeply romantic. I just loved these two so much. I wished this had been dual POV but even still this was incredible. I laughed, I cried, I swooned...just yes. This is what I've been looking for here. I loved this so much. I think this might be a top read for the year. I already can't wait to read it again. Still crying! 😭
