Absolutely loved this. The moments that were supposed to be funny were funny, and the moments that were supposed to be sad were exactly that, and everything in-between felt like a warm hug. I loved these 2 characters - both authentic in their own ways. Kat’s internal struggle felt real and Jude’s chivalry was adorable and heartbreaking at times considering the plot. And to wrap it all up in a romance-tied bow, this book also served as a love letter to NYC.

Thanks to NetGalley & the publishers for the ARC!

I enjoyed reading Camille Kellog’s newest book. The Next Chapter was an entertaining romcom. Pick this one up on publication day.

No lo odié, pero tampoco me encantó.


Las vidas de Jude y Kat son opuestas. La vida de Jude es tranquila, trabaja en una librería, mientras que Kat, una actriz, tiene una existencia en constante escrutinio. Cada una tiene metas diferentes, pero cuando se conocen y las chispas surgen, comienzan a pasar tiempo juntas. A medida que sus vidas se entrelazan, se darán cuenta de que tal vez sus sueños son distintos.

En teoría, tiene todo lo que me gusta, pero el desarrollo no me resultó tan entretenido. Sobre todo, no pude conectar con Kat, ya que sentí que su personaje no tuvo un crecimiento significativo.


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Camille Kellogg has written such a lovely story! I really enjoyed this sweet and slightly spicy romance between bookstore manager Jude and former child star Kat. The setting of the bookstore was lovely (despite the new owner's frustrating changes!), and the premise was a great take on the fake dating trope.

I'd recommend this to anyone who loves queer romance with lots of representation across the queer spectrum, anyone who's questioning their identity, and anyone who's interested in the effects of child stardom, especially on queer folks.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House, Dial Press, and the author for the opportunity to review this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

What's not to like about a romance with a bookstore meet-cute? Jude the bookseller and Kat the actress hit it off immediately, but they both have unresolved past trauma that might get in their way. There's a charming Notting Hill homage near the end that I greatly enjoyed. I was frustrated with Kat's actions throughout the book, but overall they had great chemistry. I also loved Jude's motley group of friends.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

I flew through this book. I just couldn't put it down! I absolutely adored Just As You Are and this was a wonderful second book from Camille Kellogg. The normal/famous trope was done so well, and the romance and the chosen family moments were just delightful! Definitely would recommend,

The title and the front cover sold me on this book quickly, but I could not put this down! It was such a great book. Wonderfully written. Just such a fun story!

What a fabulous read! Oh this one and any book by Camille will be picked up by me immediately! I loved the modern day setting!
