I didn't HATE this book, the romance was cute, and self admittedly quick in the beginning. However, what made me give it such a low score is that they didn't have very much interactions as adults showing that they were still good together. The fast as adults bothered me more than when they were kids.

It was a good pallet cleanser. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to someone, but if you need a light hearted book and are a fan of the genre, it’s a fast and not cringy read.
Tate was a likable enough lead. I feel she was kind of unappreciative of her privilege in nepotism with her father, the world famous, mega-star actor, but she seemed mostly aware of her white privilege so there’s that at least. My problem really came in with Sam. Sam is a wet blanket - let’s be honest. Name one characteristic about Sam that isn’t hot writer. Most of all I have major beef with Sam for writing multiple sex scenes in a movie about his MOTHER figure. I get that it was loosely (but mostly) based on them and their love story, and that sex sells and all but COME ON. This gave me major major ick. Nana was a weird character but I liked her mom. Overall, it was fine but not great.

3 or 3.5 stars? I just feel like this lacked some of the feelings I got with other CLo books. Not to say that I didn't like this one.... I just didn't enjoy it as much as some of their other books.
I just love Christina Lauren so much! They’re definitely my favorite romance author duo. This one wasn’t my favorite, but still flew through it when I had the time to sit and read. This one was frustrating. Not the writers, but some of the self absorbed characters. I thought the story was super sweet though. There are mixed reviews for this, which I understand, but I liked it!

I liked the book, I liked the characters. I just feel like it wasn’t as deep as the other books of CLo’s. I wonder if it’s because it was all from Tate’s point of view?

I think I had a single teardrop running down my face the majority of the time reading this book

This was a quick read and she got me with a couple of these twists. Overall it was a little too unbelievable for me.
Sweet but predictable. I wasn’t able to get very invested in the characters but I did love the behind the scenes of them making a movie. I also liked the summer camp vibes, but overall it felt a little slow. I will say, the few pages before the time jump had my jaw on the floor.
