When I Think of You
In this sweeping second chance romance from debut author Myah Ariel, the unexpected spark of two former flames may force them to choose between their dreams and each other.
Kaliya Wilson has paid her dues. But all the years behind the reception desk at a flashy film studio have only pushed her movie-making dreams further out of reach. That is, until a surprise reunion presents an opportunity that could make her career, or break her heart…a second time.
It’s been seven years since Kaliya’s whirlwind college romance with Danny Prescott went up in flames. While her passions have stalled, his career is taking off. So when the hot shot director reappears to offer her a job on his next production, it’s a shock to the system. Working with Danny may recapture the intensity of their film school days, but trusting him again won’t come as easily.
As the pair allows themselves the openness and vulnerability to entrust their deepest truths to each other, the possibility of a true connection draws ever closer. But when Hollywood politics and scandal threaten to sink the production and her career, Kaliya may have to risk everything to do what’s right—even if it means letting go of the second chance love of a lifetime.

Read this a few months ago. This was such a good story. Both main characters seemed like real tangible people, having thoughts and flaws and not being perfect romance archetypes. Kaliya was easy to connect to and I enjoyed reading as she tried finding her passion and thirst for life again. Danny was a sweetheart, although I did not understand what the point of having his ex girlfriend around in the first half of the book was. For the drama I guess? Danny essentially emotionally cheats on his then-gf the entire beginning of the novel and knows he is still in love with Kaliya, so although his ex was a bitch, I do not enjoy that trope in books. Although, the book was made even more romantic when it would dive into the love story between Danny's parents and recreating that love on the big screen.
This book also did a great job exploring privilege in life and in Hollywood. Kaliya is a women of color trying to make a name for herself but having to work against constant roadblocks and stereotyping. She also does not come from a wealthy, big name family like Danny so doors do not automatically open for her. I appreciated the reality of this book rather than all of that being ignored for the romantic plot. Again, reading Kaliya trying to overcome these obstacles and regain her passion for doing what she loves despite their constant existence was a great storyline throughout the novel.
