If you love enemies to lovers, second chances, and Hollywood drama, then Let’s Make a Scene is the perfect read. Cynthie and Jack’s chemistry is off the charts, both on and off screen, and their forced proximity through a fake PR relationship adds just the right amount of tension, angst, and slow burn goodness.

Cynthie is a fantastic FMC! She is sharp, determined, and carrying just enough past resentment to make her dynamic with Jack absolutely sizzle. Their history is messy, emotional, and filled with unspoken feelings that resurface the moment they’re thrown back together. And Jack? He’s got that perfect mix of broody arrogance and undeniable charm, making it impossible not to fall for him.

One of the highlights of the book is the behind the scenes aspect. The idea of a documentary crew following their every move while they navigate this fake but not so fake relationship just adds to the tension. Watching them play their roles for the cameras while their real feelings threaten to take over was so much fun.

My only minor complaint? I wish we got even more of their past timeline because their original rivalry turned PR stunt relationship had so much potential for drama! But honestly, that’s just me being greedy because I loved their dynamic so much.

Overall, Let’s Make a Scene is a perfect mix of witty banter, emotional depth, and palpable tension. If you’re a fan of fake dating, forced proximity, and sizzling Hollywood romance, this one’s for you. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Laura Wood, and Atria Books for the eARC of this book.
