As a complete sucker for witty banter and fun, fast-paced dialogue, the story worked for me because I fell for the characters and the story felt real in a perplexing way. Bennett has southern charm mixed with a strong female protagonist who has a lot to learn about love and the movie-making game. And Teddy Sharpe has the allure of a heartthrob turned leading man who has all the right moves with the manners and social skills of a Today Show host mixed with a ready for anything skill set of James Bond.

This is my first book by Alex Evansley and I wasn't disappointed. Great adorable couple that you couldn't help but root for. Definitely a must read for any fan of movie making romances.

This novel is d me rooting for Caldwell and Buzz! The first half was much more enjoyable than the last part as some scenes felt rushed---final few chapters, or didn't make sense (why was Buzz acting weird at the hospital?). The language could have been toned down a lot and the dialogue would not have suffered at all. I appreciated that this novel was not sexually explicit. I loved how much family played into the plot. Very plausible storyline and I look to read more by this author. Thank you netgalley for the advance read copy .

I adored this sweet romantic read! Teddy and Bennett's story was just a delight to read. Teddy is on the path to becoming a movie star and Bennett has written a best seller that is about to become a movie. After a chance meeting on a plane, Teddy and Bennett's relationship begins when Bennett saves the day after his canceled flight. They spend a weekend together with her family before his reality sets back in. The story then picks up when their worlds collide again and it just is a magically fun read! The romance is definitely very swoon-worthy and I just loved the way the narration shifted. Some great supporting characters, family drama and friendships forming. I know some of my freshman girls will devour this fun, romantic read. Looking forward to more by this author! Thanks netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Actual stars...4.25
This was fun. No two ways about it.
This review may include spoilers so please stop reading now if you don't want the story spoiled!!
What I loved: I loved that this story was about Bennett getting out of her own head. The biggest challenge she faced was all in her head. And Teddy wasn't going to let that get in the way. I loved that. I don't think all YA needs to have some huge catastrophic event that separates the couple. Sometimes, it just needs to be the catastrophic event that plays out in our minds.
What I liked: The dialogue felt genuine.
What I hated: Hmmm...not sure I hated anything about this one.

This is a fairly clean YA novel. There is underage drinking and underage drinking allowed by parents. Could be a deal breaker for some younger readers.

Overall: Anxious to read more from this author!!
