4/5
I don't normally pick up books with age gaps, but I decided to make an exception because I read the book's description and knew that I had to read this. What I wasn't expecting was for this book to be such a slow burn, it took almost 300 pages for them to kiss but when they did it was worth the wait. It had a good and unfortunately realistic depiction of how women are treated in the tv and film industry. I'm also a huge sucker for tabloid/social media kind of stories which was one of the biggest reasons that I decided to read the book in the first place. The reason why I gave this 4 stars was because of the miscommunication, it was a recurring thing and I personally don't like that trope but I can definitely see how others could enjoy it. While this wasn't a life-changing read, it doesn't have to be, it's just a super cute sapphic romance!
