Easily the most unique styled book I’ve read. Loved how it was told and the turns it took through time and this relationship. Super cute read!

I read this book in one day. It’s an easy and lighthearted romance that has potential but wasn’t my favorite. The main characters, a journalist and an actor, spend a weekend together as she interviews him for a magazine profile. A decade later they are reunited for the same purpose and must address some unresolved tensions in their relationship. 

While I do recognize that one must set aside certain realistic expectations in order to accept that a movie star would fall in love with his interviewer, I cannot accept that the entire romance could happen within 72 hours. I also cannot accept that the two main characters would harbor such intense feelings for one another for an entire decade before trying to reconnect! I found the shortness of the time frame to be too limiting for the story and I wish that the author had given us more of a backstory in order to build up the narrative. I did enjoy the way that the book switched between time frames and created a parallel between the past and present. 

There are better romances out there, but if  you like second chance romance or if you’re looking for a quick and easy read, this would be a good option.
