*I received a free copy of Crashing the A-List. This has in no way influenced my review which is honest and unbiased.*

Crashing the A-List is a fun, while rather unlikely, romantic comedy. There are so many things that happen that are not interpreted correctly, and that made the whole plot of the novel.
I had several laugh out loud moments, but I also had to cringe a little at times. In the beginning, I could understand Caspian rather well, however, as the story went on, I found him to be both overbearing and rather more of an ass.
Some of the situations Clara found herself in needed a good dose of suspension of disbelief, but I still enjoyed both her and CiCi and their shenanigans.

I can't begin to tell you how much I adored Crashing the A-List by Summer Heacock! I originally requested it because it was a contemporary romance and I just don't have enough of that in my life. The great news is I got SO much more than that!

For me the best part of Crashing the A-List is that it was like watching the best rom com ever filmed. I can't tell you how much I loved this book but I'm going to try. First off, Clara is such a sympathetic heroine. She curses like a sailor and I really felt we could have been BFFs.

Caspian was really kind of a jerk. Basically imagine Freddie Prinze Jr playing Zach from She's All That except British. (At least in my head.) The big difference is that Zach was a d-bag from the start and needed to redeem himself but Caspian kind of gets dragged into this mess and while he is justified in being angry, he's still kind of a jerk.

Watching these two trying to negotiate around the awkward situation they found themselves in was an experience. I laughed, I cried (like ugly went to the bathroom so I would't wake my husband from a deep sleep kind of cry), and my heart practically burst from happiness. I was recommending this book at 18%. Kind of a risky move with that much still left in the book but I had a feeling. And, readers, I was right about it.

If you need a laugh or if you need to get lost in a romantic comedy because this world kinda sucks sometimes, I can't recommend Crashing the A-List by Summer Heacock enough. It was brilliantly done and I'm so glad there is another book in Heacock's backlist!

Coffee dates with Crashing the A-List

First Date: Our dates begin when Clara, an unemployed publicist discovers something in a storage unit and fumbles the return of said information, leading the intended recipient, sexy British actor, Caspian Tiddleswich, to believe Clara is trying to blackmail him. When a photo appears them, everyone assumes the secretive Tiddleswich has a girlfriend. The two enter a twisted arrangement built off a stack of misconceptions. I loved the whole setup, Clara’s BFF and the initial interactions between Clara and Caspian.

Second Date: Chemistry, snark and attitudes have me feeling hot and cold. Clara is a hoot, particularly with her habit of naming inanimate objects. She even talks to them; much like I talk to my coffee. We could be BFFs. Family and friends added moments of laughter. Clara’s mother and the whole lunch scene was hilarious. Clara and Caspian open up and we gain some understanding into Tiddleswich and just when things heat up, someone dowses the flames.

Third Date: Feels, confessions and character growth gave way to something deeper. The drama was dealt with in an adult like way and I was pleased with the way it slowly unfolded. I also loved the thread regarding Clara’s employment that ran throughout the story. We went on several interviews and Heacock touched on some relevant issues when it comes to employment.
