⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved this book! Hollywood, rockstar, celebrity divorced couple, second chance, all my faves! Sophie and Levi Truin were gifted, magical, each successful in their own fields. He’s a rockstar, she’s a model. When they met, they clicked, and in less than one year they were married, and had a baby girl soon after. After three years of incredible bliss, it all came down like a house of cards, and seven years after, they are the epitome of a divorced couple who excel at co-parenting. They live close by, share equal time with their daughter Hart, and have a very amiable relation.It all sounded to be too good to be true and as you read, you learn of all the undercurrents. There’s a strong theme of postpartum in the book, it caused the demise of their marriage and it became Sophie’s crusade. When she had their daughter, she got severe postpartum depression; she didn’t know how to deal with it and her husband didn’t support her. Years after, with many counseling sessions under her belt, Sophie emerged a much stronger woman but still damaged because she was the cause of their divorce. She now runs a non-profit to help woman with this condition.
You can tell immediately that this couple still love each other immeasurably. They keep a polite distance but maintain a loving relation. When Levi’s old song-writer collaborator emerges from the past, Sophie has a tantrum. When she accepts a dinner invitation from a neighbor and friend, Levi has a tantrum. Levi decides to go on tour and invites Sophie and Hart to join in, and off they go. And this is when the story started to burn and get yummy!
I loved the angst and the yearning! Clearly, the love between Sophie and Levi was strong. I appreciated that the author moved the plot slowly to enjoy the slow burn. Initially, there was a lot of character rumination and I was afraid it was going to be a blabby book but as the action developed, it turned out perfectly balanced in prose and dialogue. I was kept riveted as the characters dealt with their issues and got closer and closer. I felt frustration and anger at the invasion of the paps in their life, all the insulting innuendos and questions. They truly live in a bubble and have to be super careful of what they say and how they act in public. Imagine taking your child to a zoo and have a fan follow you around taking photos! Unbelievable. Thank you to the author for such a memorable depiction of the life of celebrities and a wonderful second chance love story! It was a great read!
