sky • thebookgreenery's Reviews > Right on Cue

as a lover of the celebrity romance trope, right on cue scratched an itch! strangely, it can be hard to find books that really lean into all that comes with having famous characters. when the premise of your story revolves around the luxury and allure of hollywood, give us the goods! I want the press events where the characters have palpable tension! give us steamy red carpet moments! and falon delivered just that.

though I picked up this read at a time when it maybe wasn't the book speaking to me, it wasn't long before I was drawn in by the plot. the train got rolling quickly and picked up steam, both figuratively and literally, as emmy and grayson, a pair with history, are unexpectedly forced together to film a romantic comedy. will it be their worst nightmare? or fate?

given how right on cue was structured, the time elapsed was one of my favorite aspects. from production to film release, the audience gets to experience a few seasons of emmy and grayson's lives. the pacing felt a bit strange at the start but made perfect sense once I got to bask in all they became.

however, the third-act conflict was mildly frustrating given it was mostly centered around a miscommunication that could have been rectified by one conversation. thankfully, given the backstories of the two characters, I could forgive the inclusion by the end.

thank you to g.p. putnam's sons and falon ballard for this eARC in exchange for an honest review
