Review
I wanna kick myself for not playing close attention to the release of this new series by JJ; hence, I missed the ARC request window. But it’s all good; the series is out now as a complete one so no need to wait, whew!
This new series by JJ is about 2 former child stars, Noah and Amelia, who are now all grown up. They were a couple in their young days, but just like some young relationship, and a famous one at that, something happened. 10 years later, almost a has-been status later, they both get the chance to star in a movie racier than what they’ve ever done, especially for Amelia. Right from the get-go, their chemistry shines, something JJ is really good at. Smokin’!
Reading this, I can almost imagine this is probably what Dakota Johnson felt like when first cast as Anastasia Steele. I can’t help it. Furthermore, it almost felt like it’s a parody and homage at the same time to a certain book genre and its fan base. No, it wasn’t done in a condescending way, not at all. Heck, if I really think about it, I can almost imagine JJ's other book characters in the movie characters that she's set up. It’s like seeing it from a different angle, that’s all.

In few pages, JJ gave me an idea of who Noah and Amelia are, and what they mean to each other. Really layered characters, I thought. And seeing this is a serial, bk 1 ends on a “Wuuut?!!?” note.
Book 2&3, I’m coming for ya, for certain!!!
Thanks for dropping by!
