pickThere are some elements I love in this book, like the boisterous family and all the supporting characters. I also liked the love interest despite the odd description of his eyes. I didn't like the protagonist, and I hated the typical genre specific 3rd act obligatory breakup here. The Q&A with the author as extra content framed the protagonist in a more forgiving lens. The elements I did like make it squeak into a Pick.

@CBee Thanks for the tag. 😊
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

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

pickHave 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
