5 stars!!
I loved this book so much!! Cal and Kathleen are both gorgeous MCs to read. I couldn't put it down at all, and now that it's over, I'm craving more.
Our POV character is Kathleen- previously a pop star whose career was seemingly destroyed by an affair with a man who then proceeded to dump her. Cut to present, Kathleen's best friend has written a musical tailored for her as the heroine, but there's a catch. Her director is Cal- the ex she despises so much. How will they work together admist such animosity and resurfacing of old feelings?
Second chance romance is now one of my favourite tropes and Sussman uses it to perfection. The chemistry between the characters is sizzling from the very first scene, and every moment felt so natural. I found the side characters to be well crafted too, and especially loved Harriet and all of her internal conflict.
Writing style is one of Sussman's biggest strengths as she alternates between timelines with great ease. Her descriptions of the showbiz industry, paparazzi, and Broadway are flawless and captivating. Despite being someone with little interest in western music and musicals, I was hooked by the brilliance in her writing. It is safe to say that I was so hypnotised by the power she holds in her words, that I was unable to pin point a single error<3
The cover looks stunning, and alongside Funny You Should Ask, it is mind-blowing. I can't wait to put this beauty on my shelf. Brownie points for the lovely title which starts making sense in a while new way once you start reading!
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the complimentary e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. And Elissa Sussman, you are GOLD! Thank you for being an author and writing this book!
