Love Scene, Take Two

Debut author Alex Evansley delivers a sweet summer romance in this inventive novel about a young heartthrob and teen author falling in love. Teddy Sharpe is kind of famous. He might actually be on his way to being really famous, especially if he'd nailed an audition for the lead role in the movie adaption of the newest bestselling young adult book series. There's just one problem: He totally blew the audition. And he's stuck in a tiny North Carolina airport. And his maybe-ex-girlfriend kind of just broke up with him. The weekend isn't exactly looking good until Bennett Caldwell, author of the very book series he just auditioned for, takes pity on him and invites him to her family's lake house. Away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood for a few days, Teddy starts to relax . . . and somehow he and Bennett just click. But dating is hard enough when you aren't the subject of several dozen fanblogs, and the Internet is full of juicy gossip about Teddy and Bennett . . . gossip that Bennett might not be prepared to handle. Chosen by readers like you for Macmillan’s young adult imprint Swoon Reads, Alex Evansley's debut novel, written from both Bennett and Teddy's perspectives, will have teens laughing, swooning, and falling in love along with these fantastically relatable characters. Praise for Love Scene, Take Two: “A modern, cool, lovable story that easily makes you swoon.” —SofiaTypes, reader on SwoonReads.com “This story had me laughing and crying.” —Basicgrill, reader on SwoonReads.com

A book about a YA book being turned into a movie is something I will always sign up for. This book was great in many ways. I loved that it was spilt and told from both of the character's POVs. The first part from Teddy's and the second part from Bennett's POV. This made the book very special to me. Of course it's rather predictable Teddy meets Bennett on the plane and just happens to get to go home with her when his flight is cancelled, but that doesn't mean I don't love every minute of it. Bennett's family seemed so warm and welcoming, I wouldn't mind spending time with them. Even though Teddy is trying to get used to being in the spotlight, he is still very much himself. The book had just the right amount of drama with the gossip blogs and characters I didn't like (Chelsea and Liz). Teddy and Bennett both have to deal with new feelings, experiences and their life in the spotlights of Hollywood. While trying to figure out what they feel, they have to figure out what is real and fake when it comes to gossip, magazines and websites. I can't imagine that's easy. Love Scene, Take Two is the perfect balance of humor, love, flirting and drama. A book for the YA contemporary lovers!
