Kennedy Ryan did it again, this was amazing. I loved Neevah, she was so real in her excitement, anxiety and fear as she navigated everything Ryan threw at her. I wish we’d gotten a bit more from Canon, as he pretty quickly moves from a grumpy, doesn’t-believe-in-romance character to a relationship king. But Ryan’s couples are always relationship goals, and these two are no different.
I did think the epilogue was a bit silly, where they get engaged after the movie premier, because shouldn’t they see how things go when they’re not with each other 24/7, i.e. when they’re making films independent of each other? Obviously they’ll go the distance, but still, a little common sense please!
