I found Shane and Lilah’s story to be easily readable, with me tearing through this book in 2 days, was cramming in chapters at random times so I could see what happened next! I typically don’t love dual timelines, but I really enjoyed the way Ava Wilder fleshed this one out. It gave background information on the characters in a well paced manner that kept me wondering, but not feeling so in the dark that I felt frustrated.
I had a soft spot for Shane’s characters, I found him to be vulnerable and earnest and sweet. Lilah, however, was just okay to me. I didn’t find her as endearing as Shane, and wish we could’ve gotten to know her better in the nearly 400 pages we spent together. But for some reason, her character just felt like it was missing something for me.
Overall, I enjoyed my time in this world, loved the subtle nod to HOW TO FAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD (hey, Ethan), and I look forward to Ava Wilder’s next story!
