Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren
4.0
CLo has done it again! I’ve been so curious where I’d fall on the scale of mixed reviews I’ve seen for this one, and I’m thrilled to say I landed in the “loved it!” camp. It’s definitely not their more signature fun-loving, witty romance that you might come to expect from them, and instead has a more serious feel and tone to it (though don’t fear, it still has plenty of steam and swoon).
From the “then” as we see Sam and Tate meet and very quickly fall head over heels for each other on vacation in London (ahh, young love) to the “present” as we see them suddenly get thrown together again as adults on a movie set and get a second chance at love... it didn’t take me long to get wrapped up in these characters as individuals and as a couple. It probably doesn’t hurt that first love and second chance romances are favorite tropes, too. And then there was the fantastic cast of the secondary characters who I adored as well, especially in their support, encouragement, and truthfulness in Sam and Tate’s lives. Gotta love those side characters coming in clutch and adding to the story! Again, this one isn’t light and breezy and touches on tougher subjects that to me, gave it an overall authenticity and depth that I so appreciated.
Everything combined made me one happy reader as I couldn’t help but fly through this book, and it proved once again why Christina Lauren is a definite favorite go-to of mine!
