Will They or Won’t They | ARC Review

Lilah Hunter and Shane McCarthy are madly in love— at least, their characters are. As the stars of the hit paranormal TV show Intangible, they spent years pining for each other on-screen… until Lilah ditched the show at the end of season five in hopes of becoming a film star. With no such luck, she’s back to film the much-hyped ninth and final season, in which their characters will get together at last.

But coming back means facing one of the biggest reasons she left: Shane. Ever since their secret behind-the-scenes fling imploded at the end of the first season, the two of them have despised each other.

Now back on set together for the first time in years, with the world’s eyes on them and their post-show careers on the line, they’ll have to grit their teeth and play nice. But under pressure to give Intangible’s fans the happy ending they’ve been waiting for, Lilah and Shane are forced to get closer than ever. And if they’re not careful, they just might get blindsided by one final twist: a real-life happy ending of their own.

This newest release from Wilder takes place in the same world as her debut, How to Fake it in Hollywood, with similar angst, healing, and celebrity drama to keep you going.

This one was fun because it followed two characters who have known each other a while since they’ve been on a hit show together for years. They’re presently enemies after a bad breakup among other things years ago.

There was something missing from their relationship that made me not fully love it. I don’t feel like they received the healing in the relationship they needed to move forward. I needed something more to feel comfortable with how much they’ve hurt each other. And why were they still acting immaturely towards each other at the end of the book? Why hadn’t they grown up?

Overall, this was a good book, but not romantic enough for me. I would have been perfectly happy skipping this one, but since it wasn’t poorly written, it’s 3.5 stars from me.
