Not a fan of the first half, it’s just a movie being made. Lots and lots of dialogue and sometimes difficult to tell when they are making a movie and when they are not. Much better in the second half, even exciting, when we concentrate a little more on the 2 MCs, their romance and all the drama surrounding their relationship, past and present. Great secondary characters as well. 3.5 stars.

This was GREAT. I love exes to lovers, I love Hollywood stories, and them being lesbians was the cherry on top. The part where they’re filming the sex scene and are both turned on…that’s the good shit. I loved that PJ and Wylie were both firmly in their 30s and seeing them come together again after what happened in the past was great.

The whole Sean situation was frustrating and infuriating, but in a realistic way. When it became clear that he’d be showing up on page, I was dreading having to read scenes of him creeping on people, but I really liked the way the characters dealt with it and that they were extremely proactive about minimizing any damage. Bless Diego and his 23-point plan! The whole old vs generation aspect of what they decided to do was really interesting and it was satisfying to see him get somewhat of a comeuppance, at least from the people who matter.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Ten years ago, Wylie and PJ starred in a c-list slasher movie that became a surprise hit due to the lesbian relationship of the heroines.

Now they've been asked to come back for the latest installment of the series. Long separated, they'll have to fake being girlfriends on screen..
..
AND there's a sex scandal with their former director.

There is a surprising amount of humor, plus the making of the new film is interesting. I like the character dynamics a lot. First book I've read by this author, but she clearly knows what she's doing.
