I never thought I’d say this about a Christina Lauren book, but honestly, I was so bored with this one.
There is no chemistry between the main characters and there was no character development. I also completely lost interest after the 10 year jump occurred.
2.5 stars. There were a lot of plot choices that were really annoying and didn't work for me. But it was still fun to listen to.
2 stars.
There's really nothing wrong with this book. I didn't hate it, it wasn't really problematic or anything. The main issue is that it was boring and didn't care about the plot or, more surprisingly, the characters.
I've loved Christina Lauren books recently and how they write characters. But this fell flat, this just wasn't it for me.

I've read a few Christina Lauren titles, and while this one wasn't my favorite (AUTOBOYOGRAPHY is a *must*), it was a great read to sink into over the long weekend.
TWICE IN A BLUE MOON has two distinct sections: first, we encounter Sam and Tate after they meet as teenagers on vacation in London. They have a whirlwind romance that ends very abruptly, leaving both of them reeling for years afterwards. The narrative then leaps ahead nearly 14 years later, when Tate is now a successful actress starring in a new movie written by...you guessed it...Sam.
I found the London-based portion of this novel stronger than when we see Tate and Sam as adults, and I wanted much more time with Tate and Sam reunited before the final turn at the end of the book. Overall, not my favorite contemporary romance lately, but perfect for an evening by the fire or an afternoon on the beach depending on your plans.
