Wow I loved this one so much! Lilah and Shane were absolutely adorable and faced some real problems and fears in relationships. It made the sweet moments that much sweeter! I loved the Hollywood aspect of it and all the behind the scenes. Not to mention their show gave me huge vampire diaries vibes which we love! Big big recommend.

Lilah Hunter and Shane McCarthy first crossed paths during auditions for the paranormal television series “Intangible.” The undeniable chemistry and attraction between them quickly led to a romantic relationship. However, their love story took an abrupt turn, ending after the first season. The following four seasons saw them as bitter rivals, harbouring animosity towards each other until Lilah made the decision to exit the show.

Now, with the ninth and final season of “Intangible” on the horizon, Lilah returns to the cast. The burning question: Can they put aside their past grievances and collaborate without bringing drama to the set?

I love stories with dual timelines, and I really appreciated how Ava Wilder skillfully developed this narrative device. It provided essential background information about the characters in a well-paced and engaging manner.

The banter between Lilah and Shane was both entertaining and heartwarming. I often found myself grinning and even laughing as I read their interactions.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for sending a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I tried to get into this book but I found it boring and didn't connect really well with the characters. The development was lacking and the chemistry was non-existent

Actual rating: 4,5 stars

I absolutely adored this book. Picked it up yesterday around midnight and finished it a day later at midnight. I absolutely loved the aspect of two famous people and what happened behind the scenes with them and their relationship. Both main characters where so much fun. I liked their banter, even though it really wasn’t necessary if main characters talked for once.

Really, really enjoyed it.

I started this one when I was pregnant and in a weird headspace and I’m sad it took me so long to finish! I really enjoyed finding out what happened between Lilah and Shane.

When this story first starts you really wonder what happened between these two to despise each other so much! They really did need the time apart to be able to come back together and it was a fun story to watch unfold!

I can’t wait to see what Ava writes next!

I did receive an advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved this book!! The slow burn, enemies to lovers was perfection. I love dual POV in enemies to lovers romances and this one did not disappoint. The main characters were three dimensional and realistic, and I loved them both.

This was good enough, and I enjoyed the on-again-off-again lust-love. I don’t have a lot more to say - it’s not that deep.

Such a great set up - two former costars brought back together to film the final season of their popular TV show! It had second chance, enemies to lovers, and forced proximity vibes. I loved the banter, and am always a fan of dual POV. The behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood was fun, and I had fun imagining what might have happened with some of my favorite onscreen pairs after reading this. A fun read!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

Ava Wilder is fantastic at writing in this genre. It’s my second book of hers and I loved it as much as the first.

This one also does well with enemies to lovers because you have actually real conflict in the characters complex history with one another and not just some silly “conflict” that goes away like nothing.

Enemies to lovers, second chance romance and a dual POV book. This book is about Sean and Lilah who are costars on a tv show and the tension of their relationship. I loved reading about their story and was especially surprised with the twist at the end.

I had a feeling that this one would be a good one, and I was not disappointed. I read Ava's How to Fake Date in Hollywood last year, and it really was a pretty decent read for me. Will They or Won't They tops that astronomically! The back and forth and forth and back with these MC's was intriguing to say the least. I really enjoyed the concept of the co-stars turned lovers turned enemies turned somewhat friends and back to lovers haha. 10/10 recommend!

I so badly wanted to love this after loving How to Fake it in Hollywood but this was not as enjoyable to me. I did not feel that they were ever dating and thus never had a reason to break up or get back together. This just was meh to me.

I wanted to love this one. I really did. Ava Wilder has become an auto request for me. I LOVED How To Fake It In Hollywood. But Will They or Won't They just missed the mark for me. I thought both Lilah and Shane were entitled, bratty, arrogant and too stubborn for their own good. Honestly I didn't really care if they got together or not. This could have been such a cute story but an inability to connect with the characters made me want more.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

By all accounts I should have loved this book, but it just fell short for me. I love second chance romance and enemy to lover tropes, but these two characters were so mean to each other. I also prefer first person narrative from each perspective. I think the story was missing the personal connection being told in third person. I really wanted to love this story…

Okay my very first read by Ava and most definitely won’t be my last.

This book didn’t disappoint. If you love enemies-to-lovers then this is for you.

The banter between lilah and Shane had me laughing and smiling during my read. They battle insecurities and jealousy just as much as they try to fight their chemistry. The way Ava wrote the ending, really was the best!

Such a funny swoony story! I loved how j smiled the whole book and felt such a sense of anticipation of the best kind! Def recommend this book!!

I just love this trope- Secret lovers to enemies, then back to lovers! Will They or Won’t They was a fun, steamy read, and I loved the behind the scenes look into the TV world!

Ava Wilder is a hugely talented author and this novel is no different! She’s able to take complex relationships and both the complications and allure of celebrity to produce really compelling romance novels with a heavy does of real mental health struggles.

I really enjoyed the dynamic of Shane and Lilah finding each other, and the story intertwining of how they feel apart and how they come back together. I really loved that there was a heavy dose of couples therapy (while they weren’t a couple lol; for the sake of their co-stars) that really did help lead to some lightbulb moments for each of them.

A very compelling read with a good sprinkling of spice!

I absolutely loved How to Fake It In Hollywood so I could wait to read Will They or Won’t They! Long time co-stars who everyone is obsessed with secretly hate each other. They knew how to get under each other’s skin and press each other’s buttons. However, the network forced them to go to counseling together to work out their problems. This made them realize the mistakes they made in their past relationship. Overall, I loved the character development and their relationship was authentic. Thank you Net Galley for the e-book in exchange my my honest review.
