You’re probably seeing this new romance all over Bookstagram - and for good reason! Netgalley gave me a digital ARC and then Avon Books asked to send me a physical copy! Libro’s influencer program also gave me the audiobook! So I have this fantastic romance in all formats now and couldn’t be happier about it. 

Grant killed Grace’s sister with his car when they were in high school. They haven’t seen each other in over a decade and are now paired to work together on the screen adaptation of Grace’s novel. They get along in ways neither of them saw coming - but there’s no way Grace’s parents can find out Grant is on the show. 

As y’all know, I love a romance with depth and this one DELIVERS. There’s a lot of reality and hard topics addressed from suicide and mental health to family. I really loved Grant and Grace together - their chemistry and their growth (personal and together) was so good. And steamy!!!! This was almost 5⭐️s for me but I have some issues with the ending (DM me to discuss.) Overall, I really loved this one and look forward to her screen adaptations of Emily Henry’s work.
