Publisher Description
An unfortunate accident, an old grudge, and a Sapphic fake romance.
Since A-List actress and Hollywood’s sweetheart Wren Acker came out, not only is she at the top of the acting world; she’s also crush number one for her queer fanbase. Loving life, loving her job, loving her cat—everything is fantastic. Except that lack of any kind of private life.
When a car accident brings her to the ER, the bottom falls out of her world when she realizes that reserved Doctor Taylor, her physician, is Madison Taylor from camp way back when she was a kid. And boy, does Madison still hold a well-earned grudge for how that all ended.
When Madison ends up working on Wren’s set as a medical consultant, suddenly everyone’s assuming they’re a couple. The media loses it, their fanbase grows even further, and the entire thing snowballs.
Every grudge has to be moved on from eventually, right?

Heart, filled to the brim
Highly, highly, highly recommended.
Truly something special.
Not My Fave
I wish I could give this a better review. I absolutely loved Who’d Have Thought by this author. I even read it twice, which is very unusual for me. But this book didn’t engage me. It seemed to drag on. I will definitely still read others by this author.
Read Again
I write this review knowing that I want to read this book again. It’s difficult to write good stories, and even more to delve deeper than what may be normally expected from this genre. The storyline is deep regarding the death of a spouse and the difficulty in moving forward. The backdrop is one of my favorites, Hollywood stardom cased in issues that are current and all too pervasive in this industry such as homophobia and sexism. The characters are likable. Yet, something negates it somewhat. It may be trying to balance the grief against a new an flourishing love. It’s a difficult balance to achieve and I’m not sure this gets us there. It’s earnest to be sure, but that earnestness tempered the heat between the two. It also didn’t help that we never got a real sense of who Nora was which made the move forward difficult to champion to me. Truly though I’m always disappointed with minimal love scenes in this genre because it is a big part of why we read these. Flinging It remains my favorite book of this authors.
