Rating: 3 out of 5.

Sage leaves her data analyst job to become an author. She writes a bestseller, but now has writer’s block as she writes her next book. On her way to Comic Con, she runs into a hot, but irritating passenger named Theo. He’s a breakout actor on the verge of fame. As they are leaving the plane, the paparazzi snap photos and mistake her as his girlfriend. They connect during the Con, but the pressure his fans put on her squashes anything actually happening between them. In an effort to cure her writer’s block, Sage goes to a location in Scotland that Theo told her about was special to him and his family. What she didn’t expect was to see Theo again.

I listened to this book and the narrators did a good job expressing the emotions of the characters. Sage and Theo have a lot of baggage regarding their relationships with their families. They aren’t the same pressures, but their feelings are similar. I like how they listened to the other’s problems without trying to solve them. Oftentimes you just need someone to hear you out. I can relate to Sage’s trouble with writing her story. Sometimes I feel stuck and no matter what I do, nothing helps. For his part, Theo thinks he’s a good guy, but sadly his ambition and lack of spine make him less of one. His cavalier attitude toward how his actions affected Sage was not cool. I’m not a big fan of the miscommunication trope and the author uses the trope several times throughout the book, which brought my enjoyment of the story down. I think because of that, this book was a miss for me, although other readers may not have the hang-ups that I do.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press. All opinions are my own.
