"A heart-stirring, tear-inducing read you won’t want to put down.”—Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read
Acting like she's in love with her handsome nightmare of a co-star—in a movie directed and produced by her complicated Hollywood royalty family—is Sloane's job. But what happens when the lines between script and reality get blurred?
Out-of-work actress Sloane Ford is in desperate need of something to do after losing her steady TV gig. When her famous family ropes her into working as a producer on their World War II-era romance, they neglect to mention that the film will be headlined by Joseph Donovan, her least favorite former co-star of all time. The roguish actor made her life a living hell the last time they worked together, using his movie star good looks and Irish charm to cover for his erratic professional behavior. On their new film set, he promises he's different now, but Sloane is far from convinced.
As filming gets underway, it becomes clear that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. When the lead actress is abruptly fired, Sloane agrees to step in and take over the role, and she starts to remember why she fell in love with acting in the first place. On camera, she and Joseph share an electric chemistry. Off camera, they've been honing their characters and, much to Sloane's surprise, growing closer. But playing the role of a woman in love with Joseph Donovan is a dangerous business, and the more time they spend together, the less Sloane can tell what's real between them, and what's just for show.

The first half of this book is the best kind of enemies to lovers that I just couldn't stop devouring. Sloane has a legitimate reason to dislike Joe for his behavior on set of the last movie they worked on together a few years prior. Joe has a reason for said behavior, and while it's just an explanation, not an excuse, he tries very hard to make amends with her. The banter between them while they get to know each other and go from initial dislike (on Sloane's side), to a hesitant friendship to secret lovers is so good and very entertaining. I really did enjoy this stage of their relationship. The second half is secret lovers which is a trope I do not enjoy because it lends itself to a lot of second hand embarrassment. As such I found it hard to get through the second half of it, even though the story was still equally as good. I also loved the picture the author painted of Sloane's wider family and how they interact and work together on such a set. A very fun (and diverse) addition to the main romance.
