This book was missing some of the spark that really drew me to FYSA, but it certainly doesn’t lack charm or uniqueness or charisma. We all know I’m a very harsh critic of second chance romances, but have a soft spot for celebrity romances!

This book was like Camp Rock x Disney Channel stars x Musical Theatre, and it was lovely. I think the arrangement of the plot and pacing held it back a bit for me, but it’s certainly an overall enjoyable read. I would have liked to know more about our main characters, and think they came off a bit shallow amid all the plot movement. 

I noted several missed typos/editing errors that detracted from the experience, but I will be so happy to keep buying any books Elissa Sussman writes in the future.
