Your typical normal girl falls for a celebrity trope. Overall a surface level, moderately cute read. The FMC however was incredibly annoying to me. She felt incredibly immature and constantly put down other women (in a very "I'm not like other girls" type of way). The timing of the book also feels wild. From the time they get together to the HEA it's at most 8 weeks, and they've already speedran their relationship without having to face any real conversations about the issues that went unresolved. While I'm glad there wasn't a 70% forced break up moment, it also felt like the characters simply get over the things that made them resistant to the relationship in the first place rather than dealing with them in any sort of satisfying way.
