Another cute book!

Liv Latimer and Ransom Joel were costars, and love interests,  in one of the biggest teen TV series to date. They were best friends and Liv always wanted more, but Ransom just saw her as a friend. They haven’t talked much since the show ended, as Ransom believed it best that they take a step back. After her father passed and her best friend abandoned her, Liv retreated from the spotlight and when she did act, she took smaller indie film roles. Ransom on the other hand took the opposite approach— starring in major blockbuster movies and becoming THE leading action man. 

When the cast get together for a twenty year reunion episode the two pick up right where they left off. This time, Liv senses Ransom returns her feelings, but she can’t risk being hurt again. Further, there is even more drama on set than the last time— with both her female co stars wanting the spotlight. With the possibility of a reboot, Liv begins to question if returning her past is really what she needs to become happy…

The one issue I had with this book is it centered on the miscommunication trope— the two have been in love with each other since they were teens, but didn’t think the other felt the same.
