Review: Still Into You by Erin Connor
Thank you Forever Publishing for my copy! All thoughts are my own.
I loved Erin Connor’s Unromance so I was so excited for her sophomore novel! It exceeded expectations and I loved the audio production so much. Second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes and adding in the stakes of fame made it even better.
Synopsis:
“Sloane Donavan dreamed of being a rock journalist ever since she posted her first MySpace blog. Now, one journalism degree, a failed internship, and dozens of backstage passes later, she’s struggling to land a full-time staff position. So when punk rock’s most notorious and elusive frontman offers her his first interview in eight years, Sloane should be jumping at the opportunity—but taking it would mean reconnecting with the only guy she’s ever loved (and lost), Dax Nakamura.
Unable to pass up a shot at making her name—and helping Dax clear the reputation that’s plagued his—Sloane agrees. It’s only a conflict of interest if anyone finds out. But the article Dax wants and the salacious tell-all Sloane’s editor is expecting are two completely different stories. And as old feelings resurface, Sloane’s journalistic integrity hangs in the balance. This is the career-making piece she’s been waiting for, but it comes with a price: the chance to rewrite the ending with her first and only love.” —NetGalley
What I Liked:
The Tropes—Second chance romance and celebrity/normal person are two of my favorites. I thought this book did those tropes so well! Dax, while a famous musician, still felt real and grounded.
The Yearning—I love second chance for this reason! All the yearning and glances and uncertainty before making a move!
Multiple Mediums—Telling the story Flashbacks, Present Day, and Articles made it really fun and dynamic to read.
