The setting of it being a movie set between two costars was fun and cute. Do not be fooled by the cute sweet cover...this book has some spice to it! Also being a Kansas native, it was fun to have reference to Olathe North and Joe's BBQ (the z man sandwich, I can attest, is as good as Nolan claims it to be)!

You can't compare the book to the second season of the Netflix show. It's only fairly similar. As a book/story this was a good read!

Ending left on a cliffhanger that makes me want to keep going. I liked that this book had short chapters but I was thrown off a bit of what time period or realm this takes place in? Like it wanted to be fantasy but I felt like conversations felt modern some times and then fantasyesque another time. I don't even know if that makes sense but the writing tone felt off.

Fun baking competition setting. Cute lighthearted read that makes me want to binge all the baking competition shows and eat all the treats.

This book was a quick, fast pace, lighthearted read with such Hallmark vibes. FMC is curvy/overweight and has a great redemption character arc developed throughout. MMC is a cinnamon roll single dad cowboy/farmer who instantly falls hard. All the characters and story are very loveable. And Then I Saw You proves a romance book can be closed door and still be a great palette cleanser read.

My sister recommended this book to me as it was her favorite book since she was a kid. I am so glad she did and am a little sad it took me this long to read it. It has great character development for the main character. It's a beautiful feel good story.

If you're an aspiring actor, I feel like this would be a very relatable story. It just wasn't for me. Franny's inner monologues were funny and relatable though.

I don't think I've actually watched Matthew McConaughey in anything... But I obviously know the name. It was fun to hear his life stories. He wish had a lot of great quotes I wish I had a pen and paper nearby to write them down.

I wasn't a huge fan of hockey romances but this one may have changed my opinion. Basically proof Meghan Quinn can write anything and I would love it. Her writing includes so many loveable and hilarious characters. Super cute story with great main character growth on both ends!
