This is a sweeping love story with some real substance. Kaliya Wilson met Danny Prescott in college where they dreamed of producing and directing Oscar-worthy films. Their romance imploded, and Danny went on to reap the benefits of being the son of a famous director. Kaliya struggles in the swamps of a reception desk at a film studio, repetitively looked over for promotions, and it’s impossible not to root for her. When Danny offers her a job on a new film based on the life and love of his parents, Kaliya knows it’s her shot to make a real contribution to her love for movies. Her past love for Danny starts as an unwanted complication but grows as they spend more time together. Side characters like Bella, a podcasting intern that’s handed a job initially promised to Kaliya, make the novel even better. The writing was strong and the characters felt real. I’d happily read another book by Myah Ariel. (8)
