Lucky Star is a fangirl's dream. Who wouldn't want to run into their celebrity crush at the cafe they work at and have him ask you to be his pretend girlfriend to get the tabloids off his back? And then if you end up moving into his house and the pretend dating isn't entirely pretend anymore, who are you to complain? Eve sure isn't. She's been Boone's barista for a while but the day she finally gets to talk to him turns out to be one of the shittier days in her life - she's just found out that her boyfriend and roommate are having sex behind her back, so now she's out a boyfriend and a place to live. Fortunately, famous Hollywood star Boone Sheridan is in need of a wholesome "normal" girl to act as his girlfriend so the media will stop reporting that he's the one who broke up his costar's marriage. Eve can't quite believe this guy she used to be somewhat obsessed with even knows she exists and while she has her reservations about the arrangement, she agrees to help Boone out. Turns out that decision was the best one she could have made for both of their lives going forward.

I really liked this book, as well as both Eve and Boone. Both characters are really likable, they have great chemistry, and their conversations and the progression of their relationship felt very natural and believable.

Overall, it's a really cute, fluffy book with great characters and a fun plot. 

Thanks for Netgalley for the ARC in an exchange for an honest review
