Miz Poppy is a popular reviewer. Everyone loves her reviews about the New Orleans night life. But what no one knows is that Hollyn is really Miz Poppy. When her employer informs her that she needs to add video content to her blog, it kicks her anxiety into high gear. Not only does she have anxiety, but she also has Tourette’s syndrome.
When the new barista, Jasper Dears brings her coffee, things get uncomfortable and strange. Jasper cannot imagine what he did. But soon after their encounter, they meet again, and their friendship begins. Jasper is an improv actor who agrees to help Hollyn/Miz Poppy as he sees that helping her will be a win-win. She will do her video and he will get recognition as an actor.
As with most romance books, you know where this is going. The writing is on the proverbial wall. It is the journey that is important. I found this to be an enjoyable journey with two likeable characters who have their own struggles.
This book is a nice way to escape the world for a while. The author has a master’s degree in social work and put her knowledge and skills to use in creating a believable character with anxiety and Tourette’s syndrome. One minor character in this book will be featured in the next book. You will have to read that one to find out who!
An enjoyable yet predictable read. I do like that nothing in this book felt rushed and the book did not end abruptly. That is my biggest complaint with romance books. I will happily read the next book in the series.
Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
