Jude is a bookseller hoping to buy back her deceased mom's store, and Kat is a former child star looking to break into work for an adult audience. When their reading rec meet-cute seems like the perfect way for Kat to come out to fans as queer, her agent orchestrates a series of one-sided publicity stunts sure to generate buzz. But can a real romance grow from these deceptive beginnings? This dual POV romance is full of all the best baby queer angst, miscommunication, yearning, and messy friendship. It covers stuff like disordered eating, panic attacks, and growing up in high control environments. You might like it if you like books about books, queer normative writing, and child star memoirs like "I'm Glad My Mom Died". This was a great second novel after "Just As You Are"; I'm a Camille Kellogg fan for sure!
I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
