Review + Giveaway! Love Scene, Take Two by Alex Evansley

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Love Scene, Take Two!

I am so excited to help share this gem of a story! Teddy and Bennett are such down to earth, likable characters and it's impossible not to fall in love with them. It's even more impossible not to cheer them on and totally pull for them to get past the roadblocks and misunderstandings and uncertainty that stands in their way. Filled with lots of laughs, lots of swoony moments, and a whole lot of heart, Love Scene, Take Two is one that I wholeheartedly recommend! 

Love Scene, Take Two
Alex Evansley
Published by: Swoon Reads
Publication date: June 12th 2018
Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult

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.

Get ready to swoon! Love Scene, Take Two is so adorably sweet and swoony, funny and romantic, that you’ll want to read it in one sitting.

After a meet cute on a flight from L.A. to North Carolina, poised-for-acting-stardom Teddy and teen-author-turn-screenwriter Bennett spend a weekend together and make a real connection. Unfortunately bad timing, bad circumstances, and a misunderstanding end things before they can really begin. Months later, they’re thrown together on a movie set and the sparks are still there. But Teddy can’t get Bennett to take another chance on him, and Bennett’s not sure what’s real and what’s just for publicity.

Told from both Teddy’s and Bennett’s perspectives, Love Scene, Take Two follows these two utterly likable characters as they deal with ex-girlfriends, family issues, friendships, paparazzi, and social media, all while navigating a new relationship. Teddy is positively dreamy and Bennett, while sometimes frustrating with the way she runs hot and cold with Teddy, has insecurities that make her relatable to every girl.

Love Scene, Take Two is published by Swoon Reads, a YA publisher, and is marketed as a young adult romance, but I will say that the character’s ages threw me at first. Bennett turns 18 during the course of the story and Teddy is 20 - older than typical YA leads. This makes Love Scene, Take Two perfect for a slightly more mature YA audience. With flirty banter, great humor, and some first-love angst, this is the epitome of swoony rom-com done right.

Final thoughts: Love Scene, Take Two is an absolute delight!
