This was a quick, light-hearted and enjoyable read, and I actually ended up staying up til 2 AM to finish (aka mostly read this in basically one sitting) not because it was particularly tense or page-turning, but because it was captivating and held my interest. The narrative structure was a little bit different, but not too off-putting -- it was like the MC was retelling things that had already happened while also feeling like present tense with the action and not necessarily knowing what would come next. It was slightly jarring when she would randomly add in a reflective line like "looking back, I should've known..." and I found it annoying the way she broke the 4th wall when talking about all the famous films he had started in like "but you already know what a dreamboat scene that was". Even so, this was still a 10/10 easy read romance
