Berkley & Will have been together for 7 years, since they were 15. A tinsey lie to him, but a big lie to her put a damper on all the future plans they made.
The first half of the book Will is a hot mess. It dives deep into how making a wrong decision leads one down the path of alcoholism. Eventually he gets his act together and stands up for himself, but is it too little too late in Berkley’s eyes? It was just about too late for me.
Thank goodness Berkley had a good set of friends and a twin sister to keep her sane with everything that Will put her through. There was a side budding romance that I liked and I wouldn’t be surprised if they get their own book.
I liked the articles about what was happening with the reality show and the time jumps, so that the story didn’t feel too long. But everyone on the show was an awful person. They’re conceited, rude and care way too much about money. There are some Kardashian name drops if that tells you anything.
Quite possibly Will’s family is the worst I have ever read about. I mean wow, talk about entitled, snobby tools and I’m glad they got exactly what they deserved.
Overall, this was good as a second chance romance. The ending was fast, or maybe not based on all the time they were together and then apart.

Book blurb:
Berkley Kaine was lucky enough to meet her perfect man at a young age.
Blissfully in love, she’s about to graduate college, take on her dream job, and has never been more optimistic for the future.
Will Adler has been in love with Berkley Kaine since the moment he laid eyes on her.
But ever since they became a couple, Will and Berkley have had to contend with his influential, richer-than-rich socialite family who have never thought Berkley is good enough. Determined to drive the young lovers apart, Will’s family reveal the secret he’s yet to find a way to tell her – he’s signed on with his brother to be a part of a reality TV show called PDX Royals, as apparently, money is all it takes to be ‘royalty’ in America.
Can Berkley forgive Will for lying?
Can the couple survive the pressure of Will’s crazy family, his constant bad decisions, and a TV show they never expected to blow up the way it did?
Can first love ever become forever love?
Enjoy Aimee Brown’s steamy-as-hell, laugh-out-loud rom com and find out if Will and Berkley get their happily-ever-after. The perfect novel for all fans of Sariah Wilson, Lindsey Kelk and Abby Jiminez.
