Just Like in the Movies by Heidi Rice
3.0
JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIES was a decent read for me, but fell short where the characters were concerned.
Jake was the only character I felt was written with complexity. He is a great leading man. But Ruby (and all of the supporting characters) felt very one-dimensional.
Ruby is sweet.
Her best friend is feisty.
Her stand-in dad is a cliche of all things gay man in media.
Jake's mother is overly dramatic.
There are no other sides to these characters.
It was a shame because I LOVED the only other book by this author I have read, but JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIES just wasn't for me.
RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️
STEAM LEVEL: Rated R
TRIGGERS:
FEELS-O-METER: 2/5 *has a bit of drama, but still a light read*
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
