4.0

I enjoyed the second half of this book a lot more than the first. I didn’t enjoy the forbidden love aspect between Canan and Neevah very much. I found myself very frustrated with her, I think her mentality about the situation was very reckless and naive. She could’ve killed her career before it truly began, yet she had this blind optimism about it. 

That being said I do think Neevah and Canon are perfect for one another. They’re a wonderful couple and really inspire and lift one another up.

I wish Neevah’s professional future was addressed. Realistically, will she be able to be a lead in a movie again? Or is the demand of acting in film too strenuous?

Also, fuck Terry. I’m sorry but in my opinion some things can never be forgiven. I do think Kennedy Ryan handled the situation realistically though. I just fault so frustrated that people felt Neevah’s was also somehow responsibility for the rift in her family. She was driven out!
