Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>"And trust wasn’t meant to be given in one lump sum. It was earned, little by little.”</i></b></blockquote> It's been a while since I read a book in one sitting! I've been missing this, a nice, light, fluffy, and thoroughly delightful romance novel to get my mind off things for a couple of hours. It's my first ever book from Alex Daria, but I can't wait to read more, because I was hooked from the start. The chemistry between our MCs, as well as the friendship and care that developed between them, was just so good! They compliment each other well and help each other to grow through the story. I LOVE Jasmine and her primas of power, their relationship and friendship are everything! Jasmine is my favorite character, she's kind, mature, and strong in so many ways, though she still has her issues and insecurities that she works out through the novel. Ashton is so cute and lovable, though I feel that he was a tad obsessive with some issues (and I understand why, but I felt that sometimes this issue was exaggerated). What I most enjoyed out of this book was how, though the romance and the personal issues of the MCs are the main focus of the story, the author still managed to discuss some issues like the cost of fame, privacy (or lack of thereof), culture, misogyny and racism in the entertainment industry, as well as how certain genres of media are looked down for a number of reasons. Some of those discussions and lines from characters seemed sometimes too overdone, but nonetheless, it was good to have a romance novel discuss such topics. I had some issues with some things towards the ending (especially a kind of 'redemption' of a specific character that had me 'wait, are you serious?'), but that didn't take from my overall enjoyment of the book. I still loved every second of our main couple and their interactions, of the making of the show, of Jasmine and Ashton's families, and can't wait to pick up the next book in this series to follow the other Primas!
