Will They or Won't They solidified Ava Wilder as one of my favorite authors.
Shane and Lilah instantly hit it off as costars on their hit show Intangibles. Five seasons later, Lilah left to pursue other avenues. Nine seasons in, she's back to play her character and reunite with her ex, Shane.
Everyone's watching them to see how they'll react. They have to be close again, that's what the show wants. The bigger question: will they or won't they fall back in love?
I flew through Ava Wilder's sophomore novel, Will They or Won't They. The dual points of view captivated me and I yearned to know what really happened to break up Lilah and Shane. The therapist sessions were hilarious and I wish we had more! I felt the steamy scenes sprinked throughout were appropriately placed and loved the ending. I can't wait to see what Wilder has up next!
Thank you Random House Ballentine and Netgalley for my earc in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Listen…listen….I just wanted a little more! A ton happened off page which was annoying and after the gut punch that was Wilder’s first book this one just felt…fine. But love a relatable anxious female main character.
Lilah and Shane have been shipped on their famous tv show for nine years, but after a tumultuous real-life relationship that ended after the first season, the pair can barely stand to be around each other.
After leaving the show due to Shane back in season five, Lilah returns for the final season to give the fans what they want - a happy ever after for Kate and Harrison, but will she get her own happily ever after?
This book goes from Insta love, to enemies to lovers, with a nice bit of miscommunication and one bed trope thrown in. There’s spice, there’s angst and there’s dual timeline and POV.
Ava Wilder has done another great job of bringing to life a Hollywood film set that makes the book seem both glamorous and realistic. A nice and fun read.
Thanks NetGalley and Headline for the ARC.

→2.5 rounded down to 2 stars
they shouldn't.
say it with me, enemies to lovers doesn't work in a contemporary romance novel!!! this has very specific exceptions, but 9 times out of 10, the conflict doesn't match the level of hatred, and it's just cringey.
this couple should have given up the first time around. they spent nine years, NINE YEARS, hating each other rather than just communicating like adults!! they were literally the stars of a tv show for a decade and they spent most of that time hating each other over nothing, a misunderstanding!!! they couldn't work together on set half the time making every crew member suffer bc of their petty differences. i don't even remember their initial argument that led to the hating, other than lilah just absolutely being a child and shane just putting up with it. seriously shane deserves better, and it pains me to say that i hate an fmc but she was insufferable. she needed long, extensive trips to a therapist before even considering a serious relationship. I'm not saying shane was perfect at all but at least he was sane.
i sped through the ending like it was a video i had to watch for school. that 1.5 speed hit. i was really looking forward to this too bc people said that it gave delena vibes (the vampire diaries) and what a damn shame and disappointment this was :/

This was totally fine. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. But I LOVED How to Fake it in Hollywood, and named it one of my favorites last year. This was, not that.
