Sizzle Reel is the witty and charming story of Luna Roth. When Luna realizes that she is bisexual, the first people she tells are her best friends. Of course, not everyone has best friends who are assistants to celebrities. Luna becomes inexplicably connected to celebrity actress Valeria, whose sexuality is the subject of much speculation. Does Luna want to be with Valeria personally or professionally? Why is one of her best friends acting so weird? And will her boss ever give her a promotion? In Sizzle Reel, Luna learns what it means to be out, bisexual, and what attraction truly feels like.
I flew through this book and couldn’t put it down! Luna is so relatable and funny. Regardless of how you identify, you will be able to find humor in and empathize with her experiences. I loved Luna’s queer found family with her friends. The dialogue was hilarious, with many witty remarks thrown in with a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it style. Luna, Val, and Romy feel like the type of characters that you wish you could hang out with with in real life. I loved seeing Luna's journey of learning about her sexuality, coming out on her terms, and deciding what matters most to her in a relationship.
Sizzle Reel would be great for readers who love the dating-a-celebrity trope, sapphic stories, and steamy romance. I would also recommend this for readers who enjoy Ashley Herring Blake (Delilah Green Doesn’t Care), Alexandria Bellefleur (Written in the Stars), and Alison Cochrun (Kiss Her Once For Me).
