This was a fun concept and was glad I got to read this book, it had that Hollywood element that I was looking for and enjoyed and that it was about a author and a Hollywood celebrity, I enjoyed what I read and had that romance element that I was looking for. Christy Swift wrote something that I really enjoyed and glad I got to read this.

writer finds love with her celebrity crush and deals with life stuff and even find friends. Liked that the book is told in different point of views. Loved his friends and the ways she tries to help him on social media . I hope that the next book is about sean and other cast mates.

This was a fun read. I really enjoyed seeing what happened and how the romance unfolded. I don't love the forlorn celebrity with a rough past because it feels super over-done BUT I loved seeing Jason's entire personality. This was a great romance!

This book was cute! I did think the dialogue was a little off considering the age of the fmc and the mmc. However, I loved the premise and I found myself rooting for them to get together the whole time. You knew what the third act breakup was going to be through the hints but I loved how they came back together.

Celebrity Crush is a fun, and dazzling rom-com that will have you laughing out loud. There’s an emphasis on the comedy and it’s rather refreshing.

Emmy and Jason were full characters with flaws they could work on and they do, together. The side characters were also incredibly lovable.

I like celebrity/Hollywood romances and read a lot of them, but unfortunately this one was very much Not For Me and ended up being a DNF halfway through. I found it unrealistic in ways that were annoying to me personally and go beyond the normal complete lack of realism inherent in the subgenre, but I'm leaving three stars because the writing itself was actually good enough even though I disliked the book (which almost made it more annoying because there's not much to be done with bad writing, but half-decent writing in service of a story I couldn't stand is worse in a different way).

My alternate recommendations for readers looking for celebrity/author romance would be Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman, Unromance by Erin Connor (forthcoming from the same publisher as Celebrity Crush), Plot Twist by Erin La Rosa, The Decoy Girlfriend by Lillie Vale, or even Twice in A Blue Moon by Christina Lauren (although that one is not their strongest title so I wouldn't suggest it for a first Christina Lauren book); for romances with Hollywood writers, I'd try Katherine Center's The Rom-Commers, Yulin Kuang's How to End a Love Story, and Falon Ballard's Right on Cue (although technically the writer in that one is a celebrity too); and for celebrity romance in general, just off the top of my head I'd say Ava Wilder is one of the better recent authors in the genre, and of course there's Lucy Parker's London Celebrities series and The View Was Exhausting by Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta (still the GOAT!).

This book is a dazzling exploration of dreams, ambition, and love. The writing is vibrant and engaging, pulling you into Emmy’s whirlwind world of book deals and celebrity crushes. The characters are richly developed, with Emmy’s journey showcasing her growth as both a writer and a woman navigating the complexities of love and fame. The tension between her career aspirations and personal desires is expertly woven throughout, creating an emotional depth that resonates. The romantic tension is electric, leaving me breathless with anticipation. However, this story is not just about finding love; it’s about embracing one’s true self in the pursuit of happiness. A delightful read that captivates the heart.

This book is delightful and funny. From the start, I could see why he was her celebrity crush and I'm so glad he became so much more than that. I also loved that the two MCs were ambitious in their career goals and talented but also complicated. I enjoyed reading about them around their friends & family and the descriptions of all of their dances. I believe many of my friends will like that the MCs are in their 30s and both are parents.

A really sweet and interesting read! This is really as romcom as it can get. The best part about this book is its humor, with its many funny references and jokes. Although sometimes, references can date the book a little too much. Personally, I’m not loving the the TikTok dances much. But The Hunger Games references! My favorite.
I love the side characters, although they’re a bit one-dimensional. I like the family aspect and wish there was more of it because the little we got would’ve made this book even more interesting. I also wish that there was more information about the actual book she wrote and more background information in general. It feels like everybody just doesn’t live or exist until they turn up in a scene. Really would have loved to hear more about Nica.
I really liked that the main characters is a single mom. That’s really refreshing to read about.
Speaking of, I also like the main character. She’s kind of unique and interesting. Not loving her love interest very much because I didn’t see much change or development there. Just self-pitying and loathing.
The romance is sweet. I just wish there was more of a reason for them to like each other at the beginning.
This book is fast-paced and also a fast burn. Not really my thing, but I respect it nonetheless. I’m also not a fun of all this dancing, but honestly, that’s all just personal preference.
One other thing I liked about this book was the quotes at the beginning of every chapter. Definitely made me interested to keep going.
The ending was really sweet too! What a cozy read.

What a warm hug this was.

This gave me such 90s romcom vibes. I audibly guffawed, cried and fist pumped the air. I loved this so much.

Thank you Forever Pub and NetGalley for the early copy to review!

This was a quick read that held my attention, which was great. I loved the banter and all the references, although the tik tok dances were a bit beyond me.

What kept this from being a 5 star read for me were some questionable decisions made by both MCs that made me like them a little less. Yes it probably made them realistic, but this is a romance novel. To quote Julia Roberts, "I want the fairytale."

Also of note there were a lot of moments of second hand embarrassment to suffer through along with the characters.

All in all a well written, mostly clean romance. Will read more from this author.

Great book!! Interesting characters and believable plot. The book was just the right length to tell the story. Would read another book by this author

Celebrity Crush by Christy Swift is a rom-com book filled with witty banter! Its a pure enjoyment to divulge into this book and devour it! I usually do not laugh but i ended up doing that a lot! I was not able to skim through the pages at all and wanted ot read every single paragraph ---- including the fun epigraphs. The character development is beautiful and enocuraging and I enjoyed the little sci-fi references! Can't wait for the world to read it!
