Book: The Trouble With Tinsel

Author: Juliet and Keith Giglio

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an eARC in exchange for my honest review. 

---

A few years ago Kerri and Jon wrote a movie script called Fire and Ice. During that time they also had just broken up. 

Fast forward to the present time. Kerri is engaged to someone else while living in Brooklyn NY. Jon is still living the LA life, trying to get a movie script greenlite and Ubering. When one day to both of their surprises Fire and Ice gets greenlite!

Everything takes off from there. Kerri has to immediately leave her Brooklyn life to go back to LA to work with her ex-boyfriend on the film. 

There are many hurdles that they have to face while the movie is filming. For instance, their main character Amari assumed they were engaged judging by the ring on Kerri’s finger. They both thought it would be bad for the film if they admitted that she was actually engaged to someone else. So now they had to fake being engaged. Aside from all that, I loved seeing all the ups and downs of what went on behind the scenes of creating a movie. 

The story will have you rooting for Jon and Kerri to get back together. You could see that they complete one another perfectly. From their fun banter to their reciting movie lines. They were both such great well well-developed characters. 

It was also so easy to visualize everything in the book which really brought the story to life for me. 

This is an adorable holiday rom-com! 

Final Score: 5/5
