A solid four star romance. There were some storytelling elements that were introduced at the end that I’d have loved to see happen throughout the book (namely,

Grant plotting out his options in screenplay format when deciding to go to the premiere. That was a wonderful element of both creative storytelling and character development that should have been weaved throughout the book!

). I also agree with another user that the

third act breakup

was a little long, but overall I enjoyed the pacing of the book.

It was nice getting to know the world of screenplays and dynamics in a writer's room, but this book is about how loving someone can be complex. (Spoiler for ending)

Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if Grant and Helen hadn't reconciled after their breakup in the third act.

They were brought together years after a tragedy, and the relationship could have been a stepping stone to closure and processing the grief left behind. Their highs of relationship interspaced with emotional parts sometimes gave a whiplash, That said, Helen and Grant's relationship had me in a chokehold, especially in the non-sexual interactions.

🌶 Chapters (not all): 14,15,16,17,18,20,21,24,26,35

This was a great listen that I sped through! Kinda wish I had listened at a slower rate 😆

The narrators did a really good job with the material. And the material was solid. There was drama, there was spice, there was angst. Really hitting my sweet spots.

A note on the spice: it was all vanilla, nothing dark or kinky, but this author knows how to write a 🔥🔥🔥 vanilla scene! So it's still 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (out of 5) for me.
