Play the Part
by Naomi Loud
While the setup was chef’s kiss in theory (tabloid queen and one-night-stand-turned-theater-partner?? Yes pls), the execution didn’t fully hit that level of emotional punch I was craving. The characters had chemistry, sure, but I found myself wanting more depth or tension—like the stakes were almost there, but just shy of explosive.
Connie was chaotic and vulnerable in a way I should have loved, and Huxley had all the makings of a possessive book boyfriend, but something about the pacing and development left me just a bit detached. Still, I really appreciated how Loud writes complex people who don’t follow the rules—and yes, the angst did deliver at moments, even if it didn’t stay at peak heartbreak the whole way through.
If you're in the mood for messy millionaires, reformed bad boys, and some good ol’ fashioned sexual tension while fixing up a dusty theatre? This one does the job.
