I was excited and honored to receive an ARC of *It’s a Love Story* by Annabel Monaghan. Thank you to NetGalley. As a fan of her previous books, I found this one to be a perfect summer read!
Jane Jackson, once the goofy star of a beloved sitcom, is now striving to become a serious Hollywood studio executive. Jane applies her "Fake It Till You Make It" philosophy as she seeks to get her first project green-lit. Jane must collaborate with her nemesis, Dan Finnegan, while also trying to find a pop star from her awkward teenage years, Jack Quinlan.
Annabel effectively uses the enemies-to-lovers trope as Jane and Dan's slow-burn romance develops naturally. With forced proximity and a twist on the "one-bed" trope, their summer affair flourishes.
If you love summer romance, this book is perfect for your vacation or poolside reading. If you enjoyed *I'm Glad My Mom Died* by Jennette McCurdy, you'll find similar underlying vibes in Jane's character.
