Twice in a Blue Moon is a good fit for those seeking an emotional and lighthearted romance about second chances, young love, and the complexities of Hollywood.

Tate first fell in love on a trip to London, where she met the mysterious Sam Brandis. They shared their deepest secrets and dreams every night in their hotel's garden. A whirlwind romance. Sam was the only person that Tate shared her biggest secret with , shes the daughter of one of Hollywood's biggest film stars. But their love story ended abruptly when Sam betrayed Tate, he revealed her secret and outed her to the world. It’s now fourteen years later, and Tate is a famous actress herself. She's currently on the set of her biggest project to date. The last person she's expects to see is Sam Brandis. But here he is. Tate is forced to confront what happened fourteen years ago--and how it has affected her all these years later.

I very much enjoyed this Christina Lauren novel even though it is different from their usual books. To me, this book read more like a women's fiction novel than a romance. It focused more on the female main character's growth and journey to become her on person and actress outside of her famous father's shadow. The romance was more secondary to the plot. Nevertheless, I would still recommend Twice in a Blue Moon to readers.

I'm a long-time fan of Christina Lauren. This is a solid read but not a favorite for me of their books. There is just something different about this one versus their other books. But, overall, I found this to be good. The young love, facing betrayal and coming into your own themes were good. I think what missed the mark for me is that the vibe wasn't quite as snappy and crisp as I'm used to. It felt less modern and lighthearted. It felt more old-fashioned or something. Again, liked it but didn't love it.

Tate fell in love with Sam when they met while on vacation abroad and they had a whirlwind romance that ended in heartbreak. Fourteen years later, Tate is an up-and-coming actress who's just been confronted with a painful past - Sam. Can Tate forgive what happened in the past? Is it possible to pick up where they left off?
Classic Christina Lauren. This was a delightful read that covers many emotions but still manages to be a breezy read.

Think- before you begin reading - who out in the world is your “home” and why? Then start turning the pages of this heart crafted story. There is a Nanci Griffith song, Once in a Very Blue Moon which played in my head as I read this story. I hoped as I read that it would be twice and love the theme of forgiveness. Christina Lauren’s books are right up there with Colleen Hoover for me!

I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a Christina Lauren book, and this one is no exception! Absolutely loved!

I love everything Christina Lauren writes. Add first love to the mix, a vacation, and a chance meeting, and I am just going to get sucked right on in. Loved every minute of it!

An wonderful story that will captivate your attention until the end! You’ll forget the world is going on around you as you immerse yourself in this story.

Such a fun and emotional premise: reunite with your first and not under the most favorable of circumstances. For those who think about what would happen if you ran into the one that got away.

Read in one sitting and may have cried a time or two. If you love contemporary romance and are a fan of Christina Lauren’s beautiful words, this is for you.

DNF. I think my mistake with this was picking it up right after The Unhoneymooners and it doesn't compare.

I love Christina Lauren! I will always read their books. I'm always excited to get an ARC of a new Christina Lauren book. Twice in a Blue Moon did not disappoint! If you love Christina Lauren, this is another good one.

♡ Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I voluntarily chose to review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

Many of you know that I am a Christina Lauren fan and I have been for many years. I decided to binge several of their books thay I have and started with Twice Upon a Blue Moon.

This book was so adorable and had total romcom vibes! It begins with a young couple meeting in London and then flashes to them meeting up again many years later and one of them is now a movie star!

I loved the setting of a movie set, it was so much fun to read! I love our female MC Tate, she was creative, witty and showed so much growth! I did struggle with our male MC Sam a little bit. I don’t want to spoil anything, I will just say I don’t think I could have forgiven him easily.

This one was sweet, cute, fun with just a little angst and swoon thrown in. Not my favorite book of theirs but I did enjoy it.

Love this very cute and very sweet second chance romance. First love, betrayal, heartbreak, redemption and a bit of sexiness between.

I'm currently clearing out all of the books that were published in 2019-20 from my title feedback view!

You never forget your first love and all the feels that come with it. This book brought that whirlwind young love to life so beautifully and tugged on your heart strings. Not everyone gets a second chance but you’ll be rooting for Sam and state to rekindle that amazing first love the once fell into.

I am extremely delinquent in reviewing this ARC, and disappointed in myself for waiting so long to read this one. I read this is one night, staying up past my bedtime!

Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the free review copy of this book.

In the past I have loved Christina Lauren's books, but I have tried this one three times and cannot get through it.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to give this a full review. I know that there were many people who loved this book - but something about the two characters in the beginning turned me off and I cannot for the life of me continue on.

I'm holding out hope that the next one will be better for me.

Super cute and loved the concept of the story. It draws you in from the jump and doesn’t let you out again till the end. Great book.
