Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade
4.0
The nicest compliment I can give this book is that I just met some living breathing people and I’m sad I have to say goodbye, It’s maybe a bit of a strange thing to say when the characters are hollywood actors starring in a thinly-veiled Game of Thrones style TV show but they feel unique.
Things I loved:
* The wicked digs at the (totally not) Game of Thrones showrunners.
* The banter between the leads, their friendship, Maria’s swedish insults,
* Peter and Maria being plus size and that this is addressed but that they are never seen as less than sexy (and horny!) and they have a fandom who is massively shipping them.
* The hilarious group chat chapters between the cast, with really believable banter
* The ao3 smutfic chapters
* Maria is incredibly aware of her own needs and boundaries, but still has things to learn
* Peter can be a dick but for good, deep reasons and he figures it out.
The story starts with a (one night) bang, moves onto slow burn, then gets quite spicy (for me!) in the middle but the joy is the rich characterisation. I'm not always a fan of books where the characters get together halfway through and have to work on their relationship goals, but this is very satisfying.
