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.

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!
