A little different than I was expecting but well-written and a great read! A blend of romance and women’s fiction, I really enjoyed Nora’s story. 

I think my favourite part of this story was Nora’s children. They were so sweet and so protective over their mom 

I did find Nora and Leo’s romance to be a bit “insta-lovey” for my taste, but I was rooting so much Nora that I didn’t mind as much as I usually would. 

The writing was also very funny and I found myself laughing out loud a few times.

This is a fun, lighthearted rom-com about a screenwriter who falls in love with a movie star. I really enjoyed most of this book: the characters, setting, story were all likable until about the last 15% of the book. However, one of my biggest pet peeves is the miscommunication trope that could have been solved by a simple text or phone call or even an email. I think the author did an ok job of trying to explain it in the end, but it definitely fell a little flat after an otherwise well-written story. I still recommend it because overall I thought it was fun and entertaining. It's just personal preference that I can't understand that trope in a modern world.
