No Ordinary Love by Myah Ariel
3.0
Apparently this was inspired by the relationship between Mariah Carey and Derek Jeter in the ’90s! A relationship I know very little about, but a fun tidbit to mention for those who do!
I was rooting so hard for Ella, a Grammy-winning pop and R&B superstar in the midst of a nasty, behind-the-scenes divorce. Her ex-husband was the absolute worst, trying to exploit her with unfair terms that could strip away her future earnings. I loathed this man! It was so satisfying to see Ella recognize her worth and fight for her career.
In the middle of all this personal turmoil, she meets Miles Westbrook, a major league baseball player, and their chemistry was instant, let me tell you! Their meet-cute involving a wardrobe mishap at an awards show was so innocent and sweet, the kind that makes you giddy with anticipation! I adored their conversations about life and fame, and Miles was the absolute best, always treating Ella with respect and admiration.
I’m a bit torn on my rating! While I enjoyed the romance a lot, I did think the story dragged and lost some momentum in the middle. The ending was also a bit of a whirlwind, and I was hoping for more closure in some areas. I'm happy with the outcome, of course, but it wrapped up a little too quickly for me!
