From my previous reviews, people will see im not usually very negative about a book and I'm actually pretty nervous about writing my first poor review!
This book wasn't terrible, don't get me wrong, it was very well written, the author has high levels of descriptive abilities. If I'm honest the criticism for me was the genre classification, I don't feel like book is a conventional romance book, there was A LOT of emphasis on the building of the setting! I feel like it was more of a backstage access look to working at Cannes Film Festival. Which is all well and good if this is the type of book you go for. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people.
The romance was more of a subplot and there definitely should be trigger warnings noted too, the FMC, for me, was hard to connect with and the book from her POV (dual third person POV) was quite negative at times.
TW: Body Dysmorphia, mental health issues.

I found myself finishing the book in one sitting, because I was dying to get to the good stuff, which, for me, didn't come. The book didn't feel very romantic, the characters had poor communication and the spice was LOW, fade to black.
This is not to say that someone else with different tastes wouldnt enjoy it, it just really wasn't my cup of tea.
