This book was surprisingly darker than I was expecting even halfway through. It wants to be a romcom but definitely isn’t. Something isn’t working here if you’re RELIEVED for the MMC when the two seemingly break up near the end. He was always better off without her.
That said, I can see the writing talent here. Wilder captures an interesting, behind-the-scenes look at acting and stardom that anyone who’s ever been in a fandom space will enjoy. The mental health portrayal here is interesting, as is her positive depiction of therapy. And there is genuine chemistry and some beautiful moments between this couple.
I hope this author can get more comfortable writing Romance, though, because this is a level of angst I don’t enjoy.
