Thanks to Harlequin TEEN and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this to review! I haven’t read any of Adi Alsaid’s books before, but this one was an enjoyable ride. This is the perfect spring release, and will definitely get you in the mood for summer.
I loved the premise of this book at the beginning. Lu is a journalist, desperate to find her next muse. She’s also worried about keeping her future in check, something I think a lot of seniors will relate to. The idea that Lu listens to conversations around her, especially in New York City, in order to get ideas for her articles makes the book overall a fun read. Sure, she’s struggling with heartbreak, but she gets to have a lot of fun adventures too.
Though I loved the premise, the plot lagged a bit in the middle for me. Lu kind of gets lost in following this couple around, becoming their friend, and consequently, the plot feels like it gets a little bit lost as well. By the end, I think it finds itself, but the middle of the book just slows down a bit for me.
Filled with adventure, this will make the perfect summer read.

I loved the concept of this, but the pacing felt off about halfway through. More to come in a review on Wednesday!
