Goodreads Blurb:

She’s her own worst enemy. So why does she only fall in love with people who look like her? The new fun, fresh and laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from Lily Lindon. Who said opposites attract? For actor Emmy Clooney, sparks only fly when she meets women who look just like her: butch and athletic, with short messy hair. It shouldn’t be a problem. Her friends say it’s normal to see yourself in the people you date. But Emmy isn’t so sure. Her lookalikes never seem to like her back. Then Emmy meets Mae, a fellow actor who could be her twin, and she senses danger. Despite Emmy’s inevitable attraction to Mae, their personalities could not be further apart. They clash on everything. Even worse, they are the same casting type – and Mae keeps swiping all the best parts. When they get cast in the same play, will Emmy find a way to overcome her insecurities and act nicely with Mae? Or is it time to take their rivalry to the next stage…

My Thoughts:

This was such an exciting read! It was so much fun to dive back into the world of Asa and Riven, and to find out what happened next. I’d forgotten how tense the story could get, and found my self stuck reading it way past when I was meant to be asleep!

I love the way Winn writes. She can really bring a scene into my head, so I can see it play out as well as read it. This can make for some rather intense reading, but with this genre that’s what you want.

The plot moves along steadily, but with some faster paced chapters that break it up nicely. Though I did find that there was quite a bit to keep track of with the different pov chapters, though this didn’t always cause an issue.

I recommend this to anyone who is looking for an exciting and well written novel. Especially if you love stories with kick-ass characters and themes of found family. Just make sure you read ‘City of Shattered Light’ first!
