What I love about the book
The cover looks fantastic and depicts the romance between Jenn and Wes. This book is definitely a rollercoaster read! I love that the book is set in the 90s (which I think it's the best era of all time). I can picture in my mind the scenic Hollywood life, the glam and glitz factor, and the drama in between. D.M. Needom does a fantastic job in bringing her characters to life and the atmosphere behind it. I love that she included a playlist at the end of the book to give a bit of a soundtrack as you're reading the story.
The pacing of the story was easy to follow along and the dialogue was fresh, witty, and full of intrigue. I enjoyed the steamy scenes between Jenn and Wes. You can feel the intensity and passion they have for each other even as the years went by. I really felt bad for Jenn for the BS she had to put up with Mason and her mother. There's a good amount of plot twists and a suspenseful end which kept me at the edge of my seat. Some of the themes in the book touch upon domestic abuse, alcoholism, and mental health. I love that D.M. Needom was able to incorporate those topics without making them feel too dense or lose the momentum in the storyline.
Reading about Jenn and Wes from different perspectives and seeing how they managed to overcome the impossible made it a worthwhile read. Through it all, this is an amazing book with a well-deserved happily ever after.
