Another solid read from Ava Wilder! They always hit the spot when I’m in the mood for an angsty, emotional read. I love how raw and real her characters feel. At times, they drove me nuts with how petulant they could be but the emotion behind it felt so believable that I kinda got it too. 

For as emotional as it was, we still get some great banter and even better spice.

My only complaint was the pacing. I wish there was a little more balance of the hate vs them reconnecting and healing. It felt a little stilted with Lilah admitted her feelings the night of LNL, I didn’t feel like they were fully there yet.

I wanted to love this book and couldn't wait to pick it up! But this year has been a chaotic reading year. By the time I picked up this book, I had already read The Reunion by Kayla Olson, and I couldn't help it. I couldn't stop comparing the two books because they both center around the celebrity world where these popular casts broke up, and they are reuniting either for a reunion episode or a final season. Even though I liked the Reunion, I didn't love it and ended up giving it 3.5 stars. I wanted to love this book more. However, there were moments I enjoyed and couldn't get enough of, like I was obsessed with Shane! Shane is this sweetheart who really wears his heart on his sleeve and can't understand why Lilah won't allow herself to feel the same toward him. Speaking of Lilah, I wish we got to delve more into her feelings/thoughts because she was harder to understand, but that was the whole point of her character. This one also had a lot of drama and steam, and I appreciated it and couldn't get enough of it. It was a good book, but it could've had a few things tweaked or added and could've been better.
