Middle of the road book for me. It was cute, but I couldn’t get over how mean Alex was to Lauren when they first met for little reason. Like, sure, deciding she was boring because a show runner he hated assigned her as his minder in the lead up to the show being released kind of makes sense. But the fact that he stuck to it for so long was annoying.
Alex overall seemed 1/2D, he didn’t have a whole lot of depth to him. Lauren had a bit more but only by sheer virtue of not immediately hating Alex.
I was pretty meh about the first book and I’m meh about this one too, which is a bummer since as a fattie I want fun, hot romcoms with people like me in the lead!!!
Oh! One thing that was super fucking annoying was Alex constantly commenting on their height difference and how small Lauren is. Can we… have like one romance book where the main female character is taller than 5’3”? As a tall gal it’s jarring how big of a trope this is for romance books.
