“Five days, four nights. One bed.” Perfect recipe for a romcom book!
This book is basically an ode to the crazy-obsessed fans of 2000s teen dramas like me! I loved the idea of a love story told from the perspective of the actresses I grew up idolizing. Grey was the perfect heroine for this story, famous and successful, but also felt so real. A lot of books don’t have truly believable dialogue. I never thought that for this book, especially with Grey.
In short, this book was really well written.
I also thought that Ethan was a great complex character. I’ve never see a perspective like his in a book before, which definitely humanized him and the story at large.
Grey and Ethan had great chemistry that didn’t downplay their issues, especially his. The book does a great job at showing how problematic relationships can become if problems are ignored.

Thank you to NetGalley, Dell, and Ava Wilder for providing me access to this book.
