This was... okay? Compared to other Mary H. K. Choi books, the connection felt superficially insta-love, the banter sometimes felt careless or cringeworthy
(the conversation about Leanna's eight-year-old fan dying of cancer was bad)
, and I didn't like the ending. Also I'm just not a fan of the romance-with-a-celebrity, woe-is-me-because-of-fame plot line... probably a trope I'll just entirely avoid from here on out.
