Nikhil and Marley were each other's first love and Nikhil ghosted Marley after prom. They lose touch and is reconnected when Nikhil's handler hires Marley as his stylish since he is an up and coming actor. 

I really liked the 2 together and it felt like they picked up where they left off when Nikhil agrees to help Marley out and moves in and help Marley after her surgery. 

I thought Nikhil was a sweetheart and super thoughtful through out the story and felt Marley really pushed him away for such a silly reason. 

There was a lot going on with the story from Nikhil's rise to fame to his family problems, Marley's surgery and her place of employment. I felt some of the parts were a bit unnecessary and just made the story too surfaced,".

I did enjoy seeing Reena and Nadim appear in this book. 

Thank you @readforeverpub @netgalley for a copy of this book.
