underwhelming 3.00

The reviewer found 'Now That I’ve Found You' to be an underwhelming but enjoyable read, rating it 3 stars. They appreciated the book's reflection on modern celebrity culture and the side characters, but struggled with the main character Evie's rude and spoiled demeanor, which impacted their enjoyment of the romance.

The reviewer had high expectations for 'Now That I’ve Found You' due to their interest in stories about Hollywood and fame. The plot follows Evie, an up-and-coming actress, who seeks help from her grandmother after a scandal involving a leaked video of her imitating a director's accent. However, the reviewer found Evie's character frustrating due to her rude and spoiled behavior, which made it difficult to connect with her or the romance. Despite this, they enjoyed the side characters, particularly Evie's grandmother and Milo, and appreciated the book's commentary on modern celebrity culture. Overall, they felt the book was a quick and easy read but slightly underwhelming compared to their initial hype.

Quick quotes

    I love any and all stories that centre around Hollywood or being famous in some way or another and so I was very interested in this book.

    My main issue with this book is Evie herself. I thought she came off as really rude, kind of spoilt and that made it hard for me to get behind her.

    I did really like the side characters. Evies grandmother is a legend. I too would like to disappear for a few days and run away from my problems. I have no choice but to stan.

Quick quotes

    Kristina Forest’s debut, I Wanna Be Where You Are, made me SO happy. It is one of these contemporary gems you think back of fondly, even months after reading it, so… I was ecstatic to be able to read Now That I’ve Found You. I’m happy to say this book didn’t disappoint, making Kristina Forest one of my must-read contemporary authors for sure!

    Evie was such a great main character. She has her flaws for sure and I found her growth thorough the book stunning. I loved how she found her own support system, her talent and her worth, without caring about other people’s judgment. I found it so easy to root for her and loved her.

    This book has a wonderful romance at its heart, but I loved how it didn’t shadow Evie’s growth, at all. Milo was such a sweet, adorable character and I loved seeing how much he cared about both Evie and Gigi. The relationship between him and Evie grew slowly as they got to know each other and I found it realistic and so swoony, too!!
