Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Bestseller Monaghan (Summer Romance) charms with this bingeable beachy contemporary. Former child star turned film producer Jane Jackson does everything she can to distance herself from the geeky, comic relief character she played as a tween, from making sure she always looks put together to plotting out conversations ahead of time. Inside, however, she's still wracked with insecurities, which is why she's driven to prove herself professionally by producing the most honest love story script she's ever read. Unfortunately, Dan Finnegan, a cinematographer "with man bun who ruins everything," is also attached to the project and their visions for the movie differ. Worse, to get the project green-lit, they need some major star power, leading Jane to lie and say she can get pop star Jack Quinlan, her short-lived teenage fling, to contribute an original song. The problem is she hasn't spoken to him in 20 years. Jack's set to play a festival in Dan's Long Island hometown, putting Jane in close proximity to both men. Monaghan mines a lot of joy out of Dan's close-knit family dynamic and the scenic coastal setting, while creating a heroine readers will root for. This is an addictive romp. (May)
