I’m going to start by saying the people I hated… Dane, I hated his guts. He was so ugh and who says “she’s in my acting class, what do you want me to say?” to their girlfriend, someone they spoke about marriage to? Disgusting behavior but moving on. Ava & Deacon… They were both disgusting trying to force James’ hand. You would think someone’s father (Deacon) would want the best and all the happiness in the world for their child but nooooo, he only cares about fame and publicity.

Now, James & Kat, I absolutely loved them together. I loved how Kat stood up for herself when it came to the contract James was required to sign, she deserved better and I am glad that she realized that unlike when she was with her ex, she seemed so insecure with him and it was amazing to see how different she was from the beginning of the book to the end of the book.

I truly appreciated the panic attack scene and how James was able to help her through it. It was written beautifully and so realistically as well (although that could just be the case for me as my partner is my anchor when I suffer from panic attacks). This in general was such a cute read, I was unable to put it down once I picked it up (until I got sick and had no choice but to put it down) and I wish I could read it again for the first time. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a cute read.

As always, although this is an E-ARC, my thoughts are my own and this is my honest review. Thank you to Ivy Dawes & Sunny Babe PR for the ARC opportunity.
