Also this should have been “The Girl WITHOUT Stars in Her Eyes” considering she didn’t want anything with the limelight. Can’t believe the most interesting and entertaining thing about this was the OW’s drama. I’m still gonna be reading the next book though. ...more

So, Kaliyah and Danny meet, fall hard and fast in film school. It’s all sunshine and rainbows until... bam! Heartbreak city hits hard. Fast forward seven years, they meet again.Danny now a big shot film director and Kaliyah, who’s dreams have gone to die behind a receptionist desk. They end up working together on a film project, and let me tell you, it's like watching a rom-com unfold in real life. There's so tension, drama, and a whole lot of unresolved feelings.
But amidst all the chaos, Kaliyah starts to find herself again. She rediscovers her passions, her worth, and her independence and you can't help but root for her every step of the way.
But, of course, love's never simple and as old flames flicker back to life, Danny and Kaliyah find themselves at crossroads. They are faced with tough choices and even tougher conversations that eventually leads them to give love a second chance and to finally get their happily ever after.
I think overall, this was an excellent debut novel. I loved how real the story felt. The characters were amazing (inserting my favorite Bella here) and relatable (who knew Hollywood folks could be this relatable? Ha!). I loved that Danny and Kaliyah’s journey was so raw and authentic that you can't help but get invested. So, if you're in the mood for a whirlwind second chance romance with a side of self-discovery, then this book is definitely for you.
Thank you to Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley for the ARC!...more

I really enjoyed this. It’s a really good second chance romance that packs so many feels. Although I’m happy this couple got their HEA , I just wish the ending didn’t feel rushed and they would’ve taken their time to relearn each other before the “I love you’s” and marriage. But I’m not mad though. Still enjoyed it immensely....more

Damon really deserves a sainthood for loving and putting up with Nikki’s rude, jealous, whiny, petty, insecure, annoying, crying ass. She really was a lot to handle even after getting insight into why she is the way she is. But even with all those very unattractive qualities of the heroine, AH still found a way to make me love this story. ...more
