This was cute and funny but honestly overall kind of average. I liked the characters but they didn't really grow much and it was spicier than I was expecting

Thank you netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
uhh honestly, I don't have the words to say, the way the book started kind of shook me a bit, It wasn't what I was expecting, and this is my first age gap romance where the woman is older, i'd say it was okay. i would definitely get into other books by the author, but this one was just there for me.

A pretty decent read, had good chemistry between the two main characters, but unfortunately lacked character progression. The mmc was somewhat boring and I was more interested in the fmc and her past rather than the mmc. Though it is a good palette cleanser if you’ve been reading heavy books!

2 Stars – Disappointing Formatting and Underdeveloped Story

I really wanted to enjoy *Reel Love* because the concept of a fan boy and his favorite director sounded intriguing, but unfortunately, I struggled to get through the book. The formatting was a big issue— the pages were black and uneven, and the text was cramped to the right side of the page, making it incredibly hard to follow the story.

As for the writing itself, I found it underdeveloped. I had a hard time connecting with the characters. The MFC’s struggles didn’t evoke much sympathy from me, and the MMC felt immature, which made it difficult to root for their relationship or their growth. While the premise had potential, the execution fell flat for me. I will not be reviewing this on good reads or elsewhere because I don’t want to hinder the books performance

Thank you netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

It was ok, an easy read definitely but unfortunately it didn’t grip me.
The chemistry was off, the story line wasn’t great either. I gave 2⭐️⭐️ because it wasn’t hard to read and did pass the time.

I’m not keen on the way the colleagues trope and how it was portrayed in the book.
It could have been better with more development of the story line it felt rushed

The book idea was cute, and the plot was creative; not many people delve into the topic of movie-making without sounding pretentious. The author did that well. However, the execution of the book overall wasn’t great. The character development and the plot were both pretty severely lacking. The intro to and progression of the love story was too quick. I wouldn’t recommend this book.

Reel Love is a slow burn rom-com. It is written in 3rd person, which I do not really like. Also, the POV changes during the chapter.

This is a sweet story between a movie director and a screenwriter.

What you can expect:

- age gap (she is older)
- workplace romance
- forced proximity
- he falls first
- some spice

I liked the insight into the movie making process and the cover is cute.

But overall the plot was pretty predictable.

This is my first book from this author, but I would like to try others too.

Thank you Netgalley for a digital copy of the book. This is my honest review.

So honestly I think I would give this a 3.75/5 if I could but I felt like it should be bumped up rather then down. I thought the beginning was a bit awkward, I would've liked more background on who the characters were before hand, but honestly once it was past that it was a cute goofy good time. A girl trying to chase her dream in Hollywood and a young dreamy man with energy and life still in him. The age-gap romance style was cute as always and I was very very happy that it ended in a nice HEA for them. I also really loved that the woman was the older one since that isn't seen as much. It was a cute good time <3.

Great book!! Realistic characters!! Great plot. I would read another book by this author. It had me engaged from start to finish.

I actually enjoyed this and I’m not a fan of the age gap
I loved the characters and how real they was no imagine world were everything is amazing and money if no issues

Lovey easy read, sweet romance good characters and fun read

A great romance novel with an older woman and a younger man getting together! They work together and it was entertaining to read their story! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I stayed up ALL night reading this.

Despite the formatting weirdness my kindle did to the beginning, this book hooked me from the start. I LOVE Anna, she’s probably my favorite FMC I’ve had in a long while. She’s hilarious, clever, and I find her refreshing.

I loved their chemistry so much! This was just a super fun and cute read!

Thank you NetGalley & BooksGoSocial for giving me access to this ebook! In this book we follow Anna Kovacs, a 37-year-old down-on-her-luck director, and John Mills, a 27-year-old struggling screenwriter with multiple side gigs. They start off with a hot hookup followed by a heated argument. Despite their rocky beginning, they soon find themselves working together on a failing movie production.
It was very cute, I liked to see an older woman (as I'm getting older myself!) I liked their "idiots-to-lovers" chemistry!

Evie Browning was able to create a unique and well written romance on a movie set. I thought the comedic elements worked overall and was invested in what was happening. The characters were fun and realistically done. It uses the slow burn perfectly and was glad it had that happy ever after.

If you are looking for an afternoon escape this is your book!
This book was a little bit different from the ones I usually read. Although the plot was slower, the characters were also more “real” in my opinion.
I loved the use of criticism in this book, There are discussions about feminism, about a woman taking what is considered a "man’s job" and being belittled since day one.
The author has a way with word and drawing emotions out of you in ways you don’t expect! I truly felt for the characters of this book
