Tropes
- second chance
- friends to lovers
- workplace romance
- Hollywood
My Thoughts
This was a quick read centered on a merger of a talent agency and two former high school friends getting a second chance at love. It is not too deep, just light enough to pass the time. Not all books need to be profound and complicated. The side characters deserve their own book. They make the book better. This is one of the few romance books without a third act breakup.
Triggers
Misogyny
Layoffs
Spice
It is rather vanilla compared to other books I have read.
Special Notes
Has a playlist. Author has indicated the story is partly based on her sister’s second chance love story. For a debut book, it is well developed. I am looking forward to reading more books from this author.
Received ARC, opinions are my own.
