I didn’t like this one nearly as much as the other books in this series. Bummed!

this was my first jasmine guillory, and although the writing and storyline were nothing special, i appreciated the mental health rep in both men & women & the various discussions about therapy. the romance itself is super cute as well

3.5 stars- maybe one day GR will let us partial star things!
This book, for me, was cute but a little bit slow to read. For it being a fake dating trope with an A List actress I think I expected a little more oomph to the story? I’ve read other books from the same author that I loved so maybe this just wasn’t the book for me.
What I did love was that it was two Black main characters and the female MC is fat which comes up in terms of her not fitting the thin and white Hollywood standard and designers not having dresses in her size for events. I also loved the mental health representation we have in discussing Anna’s issues with anxiety and Ben talking openly about his experiences with his therapist. We love to see two adults working on their self-growth.
If you’ve liked other books from this author, I still recommend that you read this one as it was cute and a bit spicy just some areas fell a bit flat for me.

Okay well this was a lot of fun! Loved the communication, loved the chemistry, loved the dual perspective and loved the steam.
Our main characters are an actress and the lead for a marketing campaign featuring said actress. And although we got a little hint of those things the book mainly focused on their interactions outside of their fields. Very character driven. Some conversations on mental health which I really appreciated and just overall I really liked it. I will say some things were very convenient considering the circumstances but I didn't mind that.
Yeah, this one was really good.
Oh yes, I did get a kindle eARC from NetGalley awhile ago but ended up buying my own copy for this review.
