My reread review and it’s still 5 stars!! I loved rereading this book and just reading Nathan & Katrina’s story again. They really are meant to be 🥹 I really enjoyed how we also got a glimpse into their past! At the beginning the both live separate lives however when they wrote a book in the past together the world wants a second book so they are forced to create and write a second one together even though they kinda hate each other! Katrina is in a relationship with Chris and he’s her agent and he thinks it’s a good idea to write a second book with Nathan and I must add Nathan is single but at the time in the past he wasn’t so nothing went down between Katrina & Nathan however when they rekindle to write this second book after time sparks start to fly it was a joy to read and see them become something instead of “Co-writers” at first they are like frenemies but over time they both ease up a bit to the point where they are friends! Katrina is a little bit unsure of everything at first but over time she opens up and I’m so proud of her from dumping Chris because he wasn’t the one for her! And once that happened it was like she found apart of herself again it feels like Nathan was just waiting for her to be comfortable to progress things between them and when they did it was the sweetest thing deep down they would and will always be something and I loved watching the character/relationship development grow they both know each other so well like better than anyone else does! I won’t say much more other than read it plus it’s a great summer read 🥰

Quotes I loved:
“I didn't need to be in a love story-I only needed to be in love.”

“It's getting the chance to hear from real people who've found themselves in my words.”

“I've never felt so much of her, felt so close to her. Everywhere we meet, my skin is feverish. She enfolds me, leaning into this moment, joining us. I feel like my very soul is on fire.”
