Liv and Random grew up together on the TV show "Girl on the Verge". While they were love interests on the show, not much happened off scene - even if they may have wanted something.

It is now twenty years later, and they are back together on set for a reunion episode! Liv hasn't seen or talked to Random much since the show ended, but being back in each other's space is bringing up some unresolved feelings. 

I really enjoyed the additive of blog posts, social media, and podcasts throughout the book! I felt like it added another layer to all the filming fun, especially because not all the opinions lined up with which characters they loved. It was a lot of fun seeing different POVs of "outside opinions".

I am a sucker for a second chance romance, and although Liv and Ransom didn't have <i>too much</i> of a past, I still really enjoyed watching them reconnect. I think we could've benefitted from more of a past between them, but they never really took things off set. I liked watching Liv figure out who she was and what she wanted. 

Overall, I had fun with this book!
