Welcome to Litsy!

Almost bailed because the narrator's immaturity really got up my nose, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Former child star Jane has some heavy emotional baggage that makes her hide behind facades, but when she's teamed up with quiet, artistic Dan to try and get a movie made, he makes it all too easy to be her funny, quirky self. There's good growth arcs for both and a lovely romance that's not very steamy, but so descriptive it's a sensory delight.

I take out True Story and read a few scenes for comfort. Those characters showed up flawed and fell in love anyway. Their connection is the kind of love I never understood, the kind where the love is the reward for being yourself. It's *This is who I am* followed by *I'll take it!*

I‘ve loved everything I‘ve read from this author, and this one is no exception.

Have probably read this kind of story begore - I‘ve certainly seen the film but it‘s still well done. Ex teen tv star trying to make it as a producer teams up with her meet cute turned work enemy to try and get a film green lighted. To do so requires retuning to his home town, hanging out with his family and learning the truth of true love. Main character is both self aware and oblivious but that aside it was a fun pool side summer read

This was a fast moving, well told story and I couldn‘t wait for the HEA of Jane and Dan. It was even fun to read the romance conflict resolve. The side characters were entertaining, as well. This reads as a standalone, but honestly, I would love to read another episode in this world of characters.

A sweet and comical love story with characters that you will root for from the very beginning! The perfect beach read!
