Take Two (NYC Romance Series Book 1)

This book is so full of love, passion and anguish. The MC are so well developed that you feel what they are going through every step of the way. You get so invested in wanting them to have a happy ending but it doesn't appear it will happen. I highly recommend this book.

Minor spoilers in this one, but I feel like they aren’t really spoilers.. it’s a second chance romance soo, but wanted to give the opportunity for some to not read the review if minor spoilers are an issue! Thank you to Erica Goodwin for the ARC! This is my first physical ARC and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to read Take Two before its release! I love reading about women in entertainment, so I was really excited to read this. I will say that it is usually a hit or miss for me when reading a second chance romance. Most of the time, I feel like the couple broke up for a reason. I was very interested in what happened between Gemma and Caitlin when they broke up. This leads me to Caitlin.I liked her in the beginning. But I’m not going to lie, the more I learned about her and how she treated Gemma (yes, they were in high school, but still), it made it really hard for me to like her. I understand being terrified of discovering feelings for a girl, especially at the age of 15/16ish. So while I hate what happened, it makes sense. But it’s a different story when you are in college and doing the same thing that you ALREADY DID TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!! I adored Gemma, so I believe that made my dislike of Caitlin more. I don’t think she is a bad person, but I just wish she would be more mindful of how her actions affect others. This is lack of mindfulness is shown with the Michelle situation as well. Gemma is an angel. I loved that she was unapologetically an out lesbian in high…

I could not put this book down, I devoured it in one day! A heartfelt sapphic romance that pulled you in from the start. Gemma and Caitlin’s dual POVs and dual timelines was done effortlessly. Seeing the struggles of a high school romance was so relatable. Then flash forward to the present when they were forced into each other’s lives after nine years because they were cast in the same movie! The cross between past, present, and the movie being filmed was full of angst, longing, regret, and hit me on every emotional level. I could not recommend this book more!
