“As we make our way to the stage door, I say, ‘Stop it.’
‘What?’
‘The smoldering.’
He stops walking. ‘I don’t smolder you.’
I turn to face him, and I just ask it. ‘Why not?’
Leo holds my gaze. ‘I wish I knew.’”

What a sweet celebrity romance! I loved the small-town setting, the ordinariness of the relationship amidst the Hollywood backdrop, the inclusion of a single mom with awesome kids, and the amazing families that Leo and Nora had. Like, seriously, I absolutely loved Nora’s parents. They were hilarious. This book is bingeable, filled with both funny one-liners and angst, and makes for a great romance read. I thought it was really well paced, but I could have read even more! I wasn’t sure about the wrench that was thrown into it to mess up the relationship, but it played out really well in the end.

“But time and sunshine bring growth, and life unfolds just the way it’s supposed to.”
