I absolutely devoured this one!! I loved knowing that #IvyOwens is one half of #ChristinaLauren ! This was a super easy-to-read romance but I also liked the storyline behind the "scandal". It felt like there was more to the book outside of just the romance piece. My only issue was (believe it or not) a bit TOO much sex 🤣 Like I'm sorry but you break up and instead of having a romantic, heartfelt makeup, you just fuck? Just a tad hard to believe but I still overall had a blast reading this.🤍

I came across this book at my local library and immediately fell in love with the flow of the prose in this text. I fell in love with both Alec and Gigi almost instantaneously. This writer knows how to make chemistry seep off every work on the page. I loved reading about Alec and Gigi's whirlwind romance. If that was what you came for, then you came to the right place.
That being said
If you're looking for extra spicy romance between childhood friends (and one of them being a famous actor), look no further. If you're looking for serious commentary within a romance about a difficult and pervasive subject, look elsewhere.

Literally my only complaint is the couple on the cover makes this look like a YA romance—the characters are in their late 20s and early 30s. SO.
Otherwise… this book was WOWEE. You’ll be sweatinggggg oof.
