Twice in a Blue Moon was awesome I couldn't put it down. Christina Lauren always knows how to set the perfect setting and make me want to park my butt down and just chill with the characters. AMAZING READ!

Amazing book. A story within a story, but told in such a way that the reader always understands whose story is being told. It was beautiful and, at times, heartbreaking.

Incredible book I loved every minute of it!!!!!!!!!!!!! This book has amazing characters and the story was so great I loved everything bout this story.

This wasn't one of my favorite reads from Christina Lauren. As usual the writing was fantastic but I just wanted more from Tate and Sam.

I just didn't feel the connection between the two of them through their time in London or on set together years later. I could see how there could have been a connection but I don't feel like we saw it. I sort of felt like I knew more about Luther and Roberta's romance than I did the MC's of the story. I also feel like there are so many questions left unanswered at the end of the story. I really would have liked things to have been wrapped up more succinctly. What happened after? There were just too many loose ends that made me feel like this story wasn't complete.

I wasn't as in love with this as I have been with other Christina Lauren books. For me, the story was hard to connect with, which kept me from loving it the way I'd hoped.

Christina Lauren does a good job with quirky, snark and humor in their rom coms. But I am beginning to really appreciate their capacity to write deep and longing romance that are a little angst driven. I knew they would do a good job with this type of love story because of the fabulous job they did with one of my other favorite books , Love and other words. In this one we find two young lovers who meet in London (swoon) for the first time. Tate shares her identity with Sam and unfortunately, that information gets leaked. With her secret out, their love affair ends in heartbreak and regrettably becomes short lived. But quite like Love and Other Words this couple gets another chance to make it work, I truly liked this book and I found it very sweet and I was really excited to see characters in a different setting like a movie set. Thanks for the opportunity to read this book.

Christina Lauren is a team that never fails to impress! This story, told in a before and after format, is captivating from the start. My only complaint is that I found side characters so interesting that I would have liked to see more from them. Great adult romance, would recommend to any in the market for cheesy love!

I always recommend Christina Lauren books to people looking for a new romance author. The books are always well written, believable, emotionally compelling and have characters that you love.. Twice in a Blue Moon hits all the right spots.
For Tate's 18th birthday so flies to London with her grandmother for a sightseeing trip. Tate's mother has kept Tate on short leash since the two moved back to her home town after a messy divorce in LA. Tate is not allowed to tell anyone who her father is. This part stretches my belief a bit. They did not change Tate unusual first name and she looks just like her famous father. I think people in small town America would put two and two together and perhaps the towns people decided to respect their privacy. Tate had been in all the tabloids when her parents divorced when she was 8 years old. Her father is a narcissistic actor and fame monger. Tate has been itching to get out in the world and away from the secrets, she yearns to stretch her wings and fly.
While in London, Tate and her grandmother meet Sam and his grandfather Luther celebrating Sam's 21st birthday. Sam and Tate hit it off. During late night talks while the older folks slept, Tate spills all to Sam. Sam disappears and Tate is mobbed by paparazzi. Sam sold her out for a cash payout. Heartbroken Tate and her grandmother flee back to America.

Fourteen years later, Tate has TV shows and seven movies under her belt. She begins a new project, a movie whose script spoke to her soul. The first day on set she runs into the scriptwriter, Sam! Horrified, Tate runs back to her trailer to get her emotions under control. Sam explains the reason why he felt the need to betray her and it is a good one. Can Tate forgive him? She has come to distrust men because of her father and Sam. During the shooting of the movie the two learn about the people they have each become and what that past betrayal has done to each of them. They fall back in love only to be betrayed again to the press and both have to flee in separate directions. Can these two get a Happily Ever After?

I honestly was kinda bored with this one, which is odd because I normally like this duos work. Really disappointed. Sighhhh...I didn't feel any chemistry between Sam and Tate. I love a second chance romance but this one was just ok. Hopefully their next one will keep me pulled in.

Christina Lauren has done it again. They wrote another fantastic read.
I enjoyed this book so much. It was such a great story.
Christina Lauren will always be one of my favorite romance writing duo.

i enjoyed this book, but the representation and discussions on racism made me uncomfortable. it has been a long while since i have read this, and i do very much apologize for that. but this one just wasn't that enjoyable for me, even though i did somewhat enjoy it.

I was so excited to be offered an ARC of Twice in a Blue Moon, and then, for some reason, I had absolutely no desire to read it. I finally convinced myself to pick it up about nine months after it was originally published, and I can definitively say that it’s not my favorite of this duo’s work.

On the positive side, I can say that Christina and Lauren are great at writing emotional scenes. I felt everything that Tate was feeling. I was right there with her in London, I was on the movie set, I was in that truck. Their writing is always good. Even when I don’t particularly like one of their stories, I can admit that their books are well-written.

The thing that didn’t work for me in this one, unfortunately, was the premise. I love a good second chance romance, but regardless of how good Sam’s excuse was, I don’t think there’s any forgiving him for what he did to Tate. I kept waiting, but I never felt like he truly redeemed himself.

Onto the next Christina Lauren book…

3.5 stars. I enjoyed this Christina Lauren book, but it wasn't my favorite. The interwoven plot between Tate and Sam is wonderful, but Tate's ongoing dad-related issues just felt like such a thin and obvious choice. His betrayal of Tate in London just feels too fast and unforgivable, then things wrap up too quickly and neatly in the end.

The conflict wasn't my favorite. That said Christina Lauren delivered on the banter and the interesting cast of characters. The romance was really strong and I liked both characters immensely.

Thank you so much for the copy. I tried to pick this one up but it did not work for me. Thank you for the opportunity to be an early reader.

Another must read from my favorite dynamic writing duo! Yes, the ladies write amazing physical scenes that make you reread pages, but they also write characters that stay with you far beyond the final page.

Special thanks to Gallery for providing our copy in exchange for an honest & fair review.

Such high hopes for the dynamic duo of Christina Lauren! Love these two. Only, I didn't love this one as much. I expected charm, wit & lovable characters with a spark to last across the 14-year span. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get behind these two main leads. That being said, sign me up for the next Christina Lauren!

Thank you for the opportunity to be an early reader.

Love this book, love the cover, love both Christina & Lauren! Didn't know they were 2 people? Yeah I found out at a book signing last year and was BLOWN away. These two have found such a unique way to write together and create entire stories that you can fully emerge yourself in for a few hours. 2nd chance romance is always my favorite thing to read, so this was a very fun journey to go on as two find each other 14 years after the worst heartbreak of her life, he is the last person she expects to see ever again. Dare we say, twice in a blue moon you can get swept up in that once in a lifetime love?

I love Christina Lauren and am hoping to work my way through everything they read. This book took me a little while to get into and my connection with the characters wasn't as strong as with previous books. It's also not as humorous as what's typical for Christian Lauren and lacks a lot of the signature banter that I've come to adore. Nonetheless, it was a sweet story and an enjoyable read. I am still a Christina Lauren fan -- this just isn't my favorite work of theirs.

A wonderful book about love and life and another win from Christina Lauren. I would recommend this book to anyone and I think everyone will enjoy it!
