What a lovely read for a relaxing weekend while it snowed quietly outside. If you are looking for an endearing story with only a little angst and a happy ending, you are safe here. Unlike other Harper Bliss stories, there are no controversial aspects that try to break taboos. "About That Kiss" is a simple story between two actresses in their late 40s. A few points even reminded me of Lee Winter's "Breaking Character", although these two books don't have too much in common in terms of content. One of the two main characters is Ida Burton, who is fighting her way back to the top of Hollywood after her last movies were no longer box office hits. The other is Faye Fleming, and unlike Ida, she's the talk of the town these days, racking up award after award. Because of her recent lack of success, Ida agrees to star alongside Faye in a romantic comedy to save her career. But their lives are turned upside down after they both like their on-screen kiss a little too much. (That's also how I always imagine my favourite couple handling their kiss on screen. Yes, I'm looking at you, Cate Blanchett. A girl can dream.) However, this is an easy read that sheds light on an important topic. Namely, how two women in their late 40s discover themselves and can finally be their true selves. It's never too late to find yourself, learn new things and, most importantly, find love. As always in a Harper Bliss novel, the characters were extremely endearing. I especially fell in love with Faye. She is the kind of co-star any actor could wish for! An excellent rom-com book, with little angst and a happy ending. ~~~ Check out more reviews on my blog www.wordsandfiction.com. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
What if the greatest role of your life is playing your true self? Ida Burton used to be Hollywood's sweetheart until the best roles started drying up in her 40s. When Ida lands one of the leads in a big-budget lesbian rom-com, it's not only a chance at reviving her dwindling career. Maybe this movie can be an opportunity to finally burst out of the closet she's forced herself into. Faye Fleming has been at the top of her acting game and collecting awards for the past few years. When she's cast in a huge blockbuster opposite the legendary Ida Burton, she's over the moon. Ida and Faye hit it off. The chemistry on set is through the roof...until their characters' first kiss.

This particular story those seems to leave me a little confused on their ages? The names are old school, so its a little hard for this to feel entirely contemporary. I appreciate that this isn't the 20-early 30s beginning starlets but womens of experience in the business and life, but still it feels like their are some minorly confusing details. Those details don't over all effect my feelings for this book.
Overall this feels like a comfy read with a minor touch of angst that doesn't clog things up. I find myself identifing with the since of yearning more than I do the characters? Though by the end I don't mind seeing the extra epilogue details simply because of how soft and comfortable it feels. ( )
