Setting: Vancouver, Canada
Rep: lesbian protagonist; sapphic love interest; POC best friend
This was a quick and cute read with some of my favourite elements - fame trope; age gap; sapphic romance - and I really liked Cate, and Abby was a great side character. I do think Rachel probably needs to work some more on her self esteem and insecurity in order to be in a relationship with Cate but they make a good couple and I enjoyed this story!

Looooooved it. It was so much fun and sweet and crazy at times, the whole zip line bit(did I remember the name right?), LOL hilarious! But for the first few chapters I wasn't completely buying the coupling, I think because Rachel's POV is a bit insecure at times, so I wasn't able to see how Cate could be attracted to her. But it was gone rather quickly.
OMG how did Cate would date that person, let alone marry? YIKES!!!! I loved how there wasn't a whole lot of fuss about her being with a woman and how she dealt with it, naturaly.
Also, I loved Abby, she was just what Rachel needed in her life. I mean, that first dare... I really would like to meet them again in the future.

I am a sucker for the famous actress falling for a fan and From Fan to Forever delivers. This book is so fun and adorable and I could not put it down.
The book starts off with one of our MCs, Rachel, a medical physics student, when going home she notices filming taking place across from her apartment. And who is starring in the movie? You guessed it, Rachel’s top celebrity crush, Cate Whitney. I think we’ve all thought about what we would do if we randomly ran into our top celeb crush on the street. No? Just me? After a pep talk from her roommate, Abby, Rachel is determined to meet Cate. What happens next? Well let’s just say it’s one of my favorite meet-cutes I’ve read.
The chemistry between Rachel and Cate is *chef’s kiss*. While both have some baggage (who doesn’t) that causes angst throughout the book, From Fan to Forever offers the readers a sweet romance that you’re rooting for right away.
If you’re a fan of age-gap, celebrity/fan romances, then From Fan to Forever is the book for you!
5/5 stars!

You say, "celebrity, age-gap", and I will immediately start to swoon. I'm not ashamed to admit it! When I read the synopsis and I anxiously awaited the release date! I'm sure all of us have had a celebrity crush that you prayed would film a movie on your street where you'd meet and fall in love. Well, Rachel Janssen's wish was granted, and her scientist's brain was the "reason" she met and began dating A-list celebrity, Cate Whitney.
I really liked that this book didn't have any angst involving the 18-year age difference between Cate and Rachel. Their biggest issues involved Cate's celebrity status and her jerk of an ex-husband. The chemistry between our mains was apparent from moment one and it was lovely to be able to have courtside seats for their relationship development. Abby, Rachel's roommate added humor and insight to the story. The steamy scenes were hot and left me fanning myself at times. This is a light-hearted romance that will make even the non-romantics smile!
Update: I listened to the audio of this book which is narrated by the amazing Anastasia Watley who did an amazing job bringing Tiana Warner’s story to life.

Thanks to NetGalley and Ylva Publishing for the digital galley of this book.
Medical Physics student Rachel Janssen just made the biggest mistake ever, falling for a straight girl. She knew better, she really did, and yet. She’s coming home from a camping trip, somewhat broken-hearted and definitely ready for a shower. She’s surprised to find a movie shooting right outside her apartment, a movie starring Cate Whitney, a gorgeous, middle-aged star, and the subject of every lesbian’s fantasies. When Rachel sneaks into the craft services tent on set, she never thought she’d actually meet Cate, let alone have a conversation and get a job offer as a consultant on the film. As the chemistry builds between them, Cate must confront her messy past with her ex-husband, and Rachel has to deal with her aversion to the limelight if they’re going to turn their attraction into more.
This book was adorable. Who wouldn’t want a chance encounter with their movie-star crush and a chance at a fling, let alone a relationship with them? Dream come true. Except, sometimes the reality is less than Hollywood perfect. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the main characters, and Rachel’s roommate was a hoot, someone you’d definitely want as a best friend. The perfect romcom book if you’re in the mood for something cute, sweet, with a few deeper emotions here and there. Definitely recommend.
