Let's Make a Scene by Laura Woods
Let's Make a Scene by Laura Woods is an enemies-to-lovers,
fake dating, second-chance fun rom com about two celebrities who do
not get along, fake date in order to help boost their careers, filled with a
lot of Hollywood drama, and told using a dual timeline through two different
points of view.
Cynthie
Taylor and Jack Turner-Jones had amazing on-screen chemistry during their first
film together, which launched their careers; only their real-life dislike for
each other made just as many headlines. Thirteen years later, they are brought together
again for a sequel to their film, with an added complication: they need to
pretend their relationship is real again for publicity. With cameras constantly
around them, old issues resurface, tension builds, and the line between acting
and reality becomes blurred.
The humor, tension, and development of their
relationship are well done; keeping me engaged throughout; whether they were
arguing or sharing rare tender moments. Telling their story in two timelines, allows
for their initial conflicts and misunderstandings alongside their current
reunion, where they've matured but still maintain their distinctive dynamic.
Cynthie is an engaging main character, driven and resilient, while Jack
transforms from an irritating co-star to a love interest.
I enjoyed the behind the scenes type stuff you got
to see in regard to how movies are made and the lifestyle as well as the downfalls
celebrities deal with. This added a lot to the story and gave insight to what
the main characters were going through. It also made the whole fake dating
trope more believable as it played out. If you like enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, or second-chance romance
stories, you'll probably enjoy this one. If you like romance books with a mix
of humor, emotional moments and enemies to lovers tension this is the book for
you.
