omg my cuties!!!! can we all have an evan in our life PLEASE!!
fran thinks she knows exactly what she wants. she has a mildly successful assistant career, she’s engaged to her very long term boyfriend, and she just accepted the job of a lifetime working for a veryyyyy famous singer as she performs at the most exclusive party in hollywood - well, more so the world. that is, until she starts to question everything in her life. how happy is fran really?
I absolutely adored all of the characters in this one. they were so unique and well rounded that I felt like I could reach into my e-book and grab their hands. it was gorgeously written.
if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s a woman who doesn’t know her own worth. and that is fran to a tee. the fact that it took a celebrity, a very hot billionaire, her best friend for years, even her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend - I was so angry at her. she deserved so much better, and the gaslighting boyfriend?! absolutely not.
EITHER WAY. it was so so cute, even though I’m definitely not an insta love person, and perfect for the holiday season.
thank you to netgalley and harper publishing for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I can’t wait for y’all to read this one!!
