I LOVED this book!! Mhairi McFarland does such a great job weaving an intriguing story that readers will fall in love with like I did!! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance books!!

I did not enjoy this book and couldn’t finish it. The pace was slow, it felt too heavy of a repeating scenario over and over between the two main characters. I believe the book was well written, and if you resonate well with this author previous works or looking for a story full of emotional discourse, you would enjoy this one. It just wasn’t for me and that’s ok! Excited for my next read by this author.

Almost a Cinderella story? I don't know what to call it. I do suggest you read this one and see what you think yourself.

This book was not for me. Slow with unlikable characters. I do not love books ripping off Taylor Swift titles too often. Now that she’s blown up again it’s happening more and more.

By far McFarlane's most humorous and engaging book, but overall the book itself didn't feel like a necessary continuation of the storyline, and needed more to truly satisfy fans of McFarlane.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Edie and Elliot. Elliot is an actor. Edie and Elliot start dating, when they realize how much they want to be together. It Eliot has lots of traveling in his future and Edie has to learn about being away from Elliot. Edie has to figure out about the press too, because they can print false stories. They both have issues but together they figure them out and fall in love.

I tried really hard to find something compelling about this book. Elliot and Edie were fine, but boring. The prologue happens right before chapter 1, so that felt weird… like, just start the book?

The idea of the book seems sweet, and I really wish I could’ve powered through. Buuuuut I just couldn’t do it.

I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read from Mhairi McFarlane, so it pains me to say I just didn’t like this book very much. Edie & Elliot were likable enough (albeit a little boring and somewhat smug, respectively), but the story dragged on and on for me. It took me forever to finish because I wasn’t invested until the 80% mark, so I kept putting it aside and reading other books. I also felt that the ending was not the way it should have been.
Even though this was a miss for me, I’m still a McFarlane fan and will definitely check out her next book.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this advanced reader's edition. Unfortunately, I will not be able to give it the time required to write a thorough review and will be unable to read it for this purpose.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Look, this is totally fine. Edie and Elliot are great. I would be friends with Declan and all of Edie's other friends. But there is absolutely no reason why there should be two novels about this relationship, and the "who's jealous now" and "what about all the money" and "yes it is easy to be insecure in a long distance relationship when one of you is famous" gets a little old. Hence why it took me forever to finish this, and not just because I didn't realize there was a first one until I started reading the second one.

I received a free ARC from Netgalley.

3.5/5 ⭐️

I accidentally read this before knowing that it was a part of a series. This book can be a stand alone but now I am hoping to go back and read the first book.

I loved and hated Edie and Elliot’s relationship. I was so nervous throughout the entire book and wanted them to have a HEA. Unless Edie had a good reason to start dating someone else. There is so much that is added to her plate with their relationship getting out to the public when dating an actor. With a possible triangle in the making, I didn’t think I would enjoy the book as much as I did.

Fingers crossed I love the first book even more.

Okay I actually didn’t realize this is a sequel so I guess that’s on me, but I did feel like the parts of the story that I was most interested in was the relationship development that happened in the first book. I felt a bit like it relied too heavily on that and not enough on making this chapter of their relationship feel fully developed.

This was another delightful romantic comedy from Mhairi McFarlane. I love the Notting Hill-type celebrity/ regular person trope and this was a fresh take on it. I never read the first book in this series, but overall I don’t think you had to because I was able to follow the story just fine.

McFarlane is always a riot, and this book was no different! Even revisiting old characters, this book is fresh and fun. I read it all in one sitting and still felt I could go on forever. The wittiness and tension had me cracking up and turning the pages as fast as I could. I'll always read McFarlane's books because she simply does not disappoint.

This was so cute! I love Mhairi McFarlane and her writing style. I had no idea how this was going to end either so that was a fun romcom. I loved all of the characters, especially Elliott's brother! So cute!.

Another delightful story from Mhairi McFarlane. She has a way of writing banter that is rivaled by few, and the British-isms make me feel wonderfully nostalgic for my time in England. The conflict for this one was painful and arduous to read, but definitely understandable. I really liked the way she approached the conflict of fame in a relationship, and felt it was tackled with a fair bit of realism. Though, I will say that the choice in conflict is challenging for your standard romance novel. I think that trace insecurity and tenuousness is kind of infectious, and was just as convinced as the main characters that the relationship was too precarious to last. I think I would've liked more piece of mind in its resolution given the sheer onslaught of conflict. A brief speech at the end and a consequent engagement definitely didn't make this couple feel secure in their HEA. There's something very unsatisfying about finishing a romance novel and feeling lingering doubt over the couple's lasting power in spite of the wedding. I definitely would've liked for Edie's insecurities to be unpacked in a more significant way as this felt like the most glaring ongoing issue still waiting in the wings. On the whole though, the characters had wonderful chemistry and it's always refreshing to read a romance novel where everyone is genuinely communicating like an adult.

A famous actor navigates a complex relationship with his ghostwriter-turned-girlfriend. I didn't realise at first that it was a sequel - I definitely missed reading the first book. For some reason, this book took me months to read through. I enjoyed the second half better than the first. However, the banters were too much for me and I didn't get the context in most cases. Thank you, Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for giving me the ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Thanks to Avon and netgalley for this advanced copy!

This is a sequel to Who's That Girl, a book I liked by an author that I have been loving. But this didn't do much more for me than the first book. Edie and Elliot are meant to be but they seem to constantly fight about the things they don't tell each other. I never got a sense of what ties them together. I don't know that this story needed a second book, but if you loved the first one I bet you'll love the second.

This book is a captivating and immersive read that hooks you from the first page. The writing is beautifully crafted, with vivid descriptions and strong character development that makes the story come alive. The plot is well-paced, balancing moments of tension with quieter, reflective scenes that allow the characters to grow. The themes explored are deep and thought-provoking, resonating long after the final page. Whether it's the emotional depth, the twists and turns of the plot, or the unforgettable characters, this book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys rich, engaging stories. Highly recommended for fans of fantasy.
