Adorei a leitura, sem expectativas, achei que foi uma história bem construída, com personagens sólidos e um enredo que prende. Nada de grandes emoções ou viradas extraordinária, mas cumpriu muitíssimo bem a função de um romance excelente pra engatar as leituras novamente.

This book was a delightful read. Hannah's tendency to work too hard was relatable, and the gradual development of her relationship with Jack was a pleasure to follow. Although the fake-dating trope can be cheesy, the scenario of a bodyguard protecting a movie star from a difficult superfan made it believable. I loved seeing the growth of both Hannah and Jack as individuals and as a couple. Overall, it was a heartwarming and satisfying book.

I could not put this book down. I ended up staying awake til 5:30 am just to finish it. To say I love this book is an understatement. I found myself laughing and smiling through so much of the story. The chemistry between Jack and Hannah was seeping off the pages. And when they finally kiss…swoon! 

I do have one issue with the story. Both Robby and Jack describe Hannah to her or someone else as “plain”, “ordinary”, or “average”. Many times this is mentioned, even Hannah sees herself this way. But not once did either of them (mostly I care about Jack) tell her she was beautiful to them. Yeah it was implied but the way they acted, the way Jack showed her he cared for her. But I just feel he should have told her she was beautiful to him. I was waiting for that moment and it never came.

Pros: some cute moments, handsome hero, lovable family members

Cons: everything else. Heroine is insecure and comes across as clumsy even though she’s a bodyguard. The hero calls her the epitome of ordinary, never once calls her beautiful to him, and this is supposed to be alluring. The author chooses to pit women against each other — best friend vs heroine, Hollywood women vs heroine. There’s not a single redeeming relationship between women apart from, of course, the hero’s mum and heroine.

It probably would have been better set in high school since that’s the level of maturity of everyone involved. No one is a girl’s girl and that’s honestly pathetic.
