i’m conflicted about how i feel about this book so it’s 3⭐️.
sam and tate fell in love in london while they were on vacation and reading that felt good. but then he betrayed her and fled. when they see each other again for the first time in fourteen years, they’re forced to spend a month and a half on set together and by the end of that, they’ve fallen back in love again.
i was not a fan of that. not because of the trope, but because of decisions that didn’t feel right. i personally would have never allowed anyone who betrayed my trust like that back into my life, no matter how they tried to justify it.
tate spent several years letting it consume her before she decided to say fuck it and do what she wanted with her career. but the way she was on set with sam for only a month and a half, had only a few conversations within the last week on said set with him about what happened and then was suddenly letting him back in frustrated me. sam wishes he had never done what he did because he’s lived with the guilt for fourteen years, and i can see why he did it.
both sam and tate fell flat for me. i believe sam is genuinely a good person, but tate was spineless.

Second chance love story written with beautifully flawed main characters. Did not love the audiobook narration. Not sure if it would classify as vocal fry, but whatever it was—it was distracting. So I’d advise to read the physical copy over listening. The story touched on young love, family trauma, trust issues, betrayal, and second chance love. The ending left a few loose ends that I would’ve liked addressed. I wouldn’t call this a fluffy romance book by any measure. It was heartbreaking at times. If you want a multilayered, complex love story, this might fit the bill.
Was it good? No. Was it offensive? Well I think it tried hard not to be. Was it bland? Absolutely.
I love Christina Lauren and this was a great romance about undying love that you just happen to stumble into (twice in a blue moon). But I could not believe that Tate did not put any of the hundreds upon thousands of clues together to work out who the writer was behind this epic screenplay??? Idk, I didn't love this as much as her other works and I think it was largely because of Tate being so ridiculously two-dimensional in her wants.
