(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
From the bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask comes “a pitch-perfect second chance romance with off-the-charts tension and chemistry” (Carley Fortune, author of Every Summer After).
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Entertainment Weekly, NPR, PopSugar
Then. Katee Rose is living the dream as America’s number one pop star, caught in a whirlwind of sold-out concerts, screaming fans, and constant tabloid coverage. Everyone wants to know everything about her and her boyfriend, Ryan LaNeve, the hottest member of adored boy band CrushZone. Katee loves to perform but hates the impossible demands of stardom. Maybe that’s why she finds herself in the arms of another CrushZone member, Cal Kirby. Quiet, serious Cal, who’s always been a good friend to Katee, is suddenly Cal with the smoldering eyes and very good hands. One unforgettable night is all it takes to blow up Katee’s relationship with Ryan, her career, her whole life.
Now. Kathleen Rosenberg is okay with her ordinary existence and leaving her pop star image in the past. That is, until Cal Kirby shows up with the opportunity of her dreams—a starring role in the Broadway show he’s directing and a chance to perform, the way she’s always wanted. The two haven’t spoken since the joint destruction of their careers, and each of them blames the other, making their reunion a tense battle of wits and egos. Kathleen reluctantly agrees to the musical, as long as she keeps her guard up around Cal. But rehearsals are long, those eyes still smolder, and those hands are still very good. Despite everything, Kathleen can’t deny the chemistry between them. Is it ever a good idea to reignite old flames? Especially if you’ve been burned in the past?

A decade ago, Kathleen Rosenberg was Katee Rose, a pop megastar known for her breathy vocals, blonde hair, and buxom figure, beloved until she was caught cheating on her fellow pop star boyfriend, Ryan LaNeve, with his bandmate Cal Kirby. Now after all this time and healing, Kathleen must decide if she's willing to put herself back in the spotlight for the comeback of a decade with Cal Kirby at the helm of a new musical that her best friend Harriet wrote with Kathleen as the star. Both Cal and Kathleen blame the other for the pitfalls of their former lives, but they must work together to ensure the show must go on, even when the feelings they've both harbored for each other threaten once more to ruin all of their hard work. VERDICT The novel drags out the mysterious past events between Kathleen and Cal and focuses far more on musical theater, boy-band references, and Jewish summer camp nostalgia than the romance. Recommended for purchase where the author's previous book Funny You Should Ask circulates well.--Elizabeth Gabriel

April 15, 2023
When two former pop stars reunite for a Broadway show, the drama spills offstage and into their personal lives. Kathleen Rosenberg always knew she wanted to be on stage--she just never imagined it would involve reinventing herself as Katee Rose, a pop star who was more famous for her contrived nasal singing voice and famous boyfriend than she was for her talent. Together with Ryan LaNeve, one-fifth of the boy band CrushZone, she made up one-half of America's favorite couple. That is, until things went awry and she found herself falling for another, more sensitive CrushZone member: Calvin Kirby. When her relationship imploded, so did her career. More than 10 years later, Kathleen has mostly moved on from her Katee Rose days--until she gets the chance to star in a Broadway show written by Harriet Watson, her best friend and songwriter, and directed by none other than Cal Kirby. Kathleen hasn't forgotten how he abandoned her when her career went up in flames, and she doesn't trust him. But the opportunity to live out her dream and show off her natural talent is too great to resist, and soon she's working side by side with the man she hates. Through long hours and lots of dance practice, though, Kathleen discovers that their chemistry never went away--in fact, it's stronger than ever. Would a relationship with Cal destroy everything Kathleen has worked so hard to build? As she did in her adult debut, Funny You Should Ask (2022), Sussman creates a dual-timeline story, simultaneously showing Kathleen and Cal's past as pop stars and their current lives as they attempt to move on and reinvent themselves. The chemistry between Kathleen and Cal is smoldering, and the stakes feel high--Kathleen doesn't want a dramatic romance to take attention away from her best friend's writing or to fall back into the same mistakes she made when she was younger. Fans of 2000s pop music will eat up the details of Kathleen's early singing career--and her downfall, which mirrors the media's treatment of female pop stars at the time. A winning second-chance romance that's fun, steamy, and full of crackling chemistry.COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Starred review from March 6, 2023
Sussman (Funny You Should Ask) dazzles in this smart second-chance romance. The artist formerly known as Katee Rose—now Kathleen Rosenberg—gets a second chance at her Broadway dreams 10 years after her music career was torpedoed by her vengeful ex-boyfriend, Ryan. Her best friend, songwriter Harriet Watson, has written a part specifically for Kathleen in her new 1940s-set musical. There’s just one problem: the director is Cal Kirby, who was in a popular boy band with Ryan and whom Kathleen has been crushing on since their theater camp days. The press has painted Kathleen as a man-eating “slut” ever since Ryan leaked news that Kathleen cheated on him—but no one knows that she cheated with Cal. In the fallout, Cal stayed far away, and Kathleen struggled to rebuild her life. But when they’re forced to work together, old feelings reignite. Sussman skillfully toggles between flashbacks and the present, teasing out her characters’ fraught backstories. Her leads are complex, appealing, and multilayered, and the perfectly paced plot offers real insight into celebrity culture and media slut-shaming. Sussman’s first-rate latest will please her existing fans and win her many new ones. Agent: Elizabeth Bewley, Sterling Lord Literistic.

Kathleen Rosenberg once sold out arenas as pop star Katee Rose, until her very public breakup with her fianc�, boybander Ryan. Years later, her best friend, Harriet, has written a musical, Riveted!, about Rosie the Riveter, and she wants Kathleen to star. She also wants Ryan's former bandmate Calvin Tyler Kirby to direct. But Kathleen hasn't spoken to Calvin since she and Ryan broke up--in fact, he's the reason they split. But her past with Calvin goes deeper, back to their teenage years at theater camp in Rhode Island. Kathleen and Calvin agree to work together, and it's tense at first, but things slowly begin to thaw as the show comes together, going into previews at their old theater in Rhode Island. Harriet sees that the chemistry is still there, but Kathleen promises nothing will happen, until it does, making everything even messier. Sussman's latest (after Funny You Should Ask, 2022) explores romance in the public eye while offering satisfyingly specific details about the process of mounting a Broadway show. Theater nerds, pop culture fanatics, and hopeless romantics will dig this one.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
