This was a tough one to rate because something happened that isn’t my favorite and didn’t completely feel necessary to the plot, but I can also argue that it aided to the growth of our MMC.

Logan and Pierre hook up after she leaves her boyfriend only to find out the next day that she was hired as his project’s concierge and will be working with him closely for the next 6 months! Something about that plot line does it for me. The chemistry & angst between them while trying to keep a strictly professional relationship was so juicy! Not to mention the “fck it” moment actually coming from our heroine and made the spicy scene even more delicious 🤭

I truly loved this story and how CCJ was able to weave in some scenes of the show that Pierre was creating, One Day Sober. Watching him craft something so personal as he was on his own sobriety journey seemed like a cathartic experience. It was beautiful to see Pierre bettering his life after witnessing the horrifying consequences of substance abuse. The legacy that Pierre’s parents left behind was a heavy thing to carry but seeing him rise to the challenge in carrying the torch with his sister was heartwarming. 

Logan was a complete baddie and had the courage to carve her own path instead of following in her family’s footsteps of becoming yet another lawyer. Watching her familial strife because of it was hard but I was happy to see those relationships mend. 

BEHIND THE SCENES is a multilayered story about overcoming societal expectations, healing, and embracing the ebb and flow of life & love. I highly recommend picking this up!
