Grey is a young-ish actress verging on irrelevancy after her long-running teen drama wrapped a year ago, and Ethan is an unintentionally semi-retired DILF needed to make a PR comeback. Neither is perfect, both are completely flawed with a whole cargo hold full of baggage, and both are completely in lust with one another. But can they deserve one another?
Tropes featured include fake dating, one bed, as well as grump and sunshine - and once you marry that with rich people in Hollywood, how could I possibly resist?
One thing I'd really like to commend Wilder on is her ability to create conflict between the two main characters without relying on miscommunication as a plot point. I also think this novel that could have been a lighthearted contemporary romance was able to dig deeper and handle some tough topics - without digging too deep and straying from the intended genre.
Overall, Wilder did an amazing job and this book was a joy to read and a blast to fly through. Mark your calendars for June 14th, 2022!
