Play It By Ear

Pretty much everything that I said for Stars Collide, the first in the Backstage Pass Series is still true in considering Hello Hollywood our new second in the series. My journey with books by Janice Thompson started in Contemporary Romantic Comedy, went to Historical Romance and even dipped into Young Adult Fiction. When I found myself with another opportunity to jump into a new Contemporary Romantic Comedy series I knew that I would be with pure delight during this read and I was not mistaken.

This new series “Backstage Pass” is an opening into a wonderful new world we had a taste of in the last Weddings by Bella book and in one of Janice's historicals Love Me Tender. Now we are full fledged into the Hollywood world and it is a thrill. The characters come off the page as real life persons that have it all with mystery and romance and best of all a Christian faith in a difficult environment.

Although I was not expecting a character shift like many other series that I read, since Weddings by Bella was all from Bella, this was great and entertaining from beginning to end.

Anyone can pick up a book from Janice Hanna Thompson and expect a light-hearted romantic thrill with laughs here and there. I highly recommend them all!

Thanks to Revell Books for providing a copy for review.

much more interesting plot and much more motivating characters, but still... ah.

lots more gripes with the writing and usage of korean language this time around. struggle struggle struggle

but again, touched on an important topic with regards to toxicity within the k-pop industry, and while it was resolved in a highly idealistic (and thus unrealistic) way, at least it was talked about.

(also: if your first strat is your “baby”, why are you letting someone play it? why are you still using it? display cases, bro, i recommend them)
