Super insane when you think about how an actual person was capable of making something this impeccable. Earth-shattering romance with very little frills, works as well as it does in part because Jonze - seasoned craftsman that he is - refuses to cloud the central dynamic(s) with overbearing "hey it's the future everybody look" winking nor random tech overanalyzing which usually bog down these types of films and take away from what works. It's easy to forget that acting can be this perfect - from the seismic Phoenix lead performance to Johansson's heart-wrenching and constantly evolving vocal presence. And it's nice to see a technology-oriented future-set film that doesn't dive into annoying 'The State of Things' preachiness or look like a grodey 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘙𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 rustbucket bootleg. In short, it never lets its story take a backseat to obnoxious gimmicks, ever - so everything is allowed to breathe. Wish it didn't spoil the final frame of the goddamned movie on the back of the DVD case, but otherwise holy fucking shit the waterworks were turned UP on this one.

Fast, light, easy and absorbing, just what I look for when I need help getting out of a book standstill. So it's not high literature, it's implausible, mostly predictable, dated, the main character's morals questionable, so what? Sometimes you just need a Jackie Collins-esque book that requires little attention, that's what you get here. If it wasn't a throwaway book, meaning I wouldn't read it again or remember much about it in the future, I'd almost give it four stars because of the fun factor alone. So, if you like a little romance, a bit of mystery, have a taste for the ridiculous and don't expect much, then you'll probably enjoy it.

fantastic read
This is the first book in this series by this author and what an amazing start. This book will take you on lots of twists and turns. I was gripped from the first page till the very last one then I was left wanting and needing more. This is definitely a compelling and captivating story, which is more of a thriller than romance. The characters were amazing with such complex development. This author has a fantastic style which just blows you away with each and every book. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.


Highly recommended start to this series

This is the forth book in this series by this author. This is a sports romance read. this book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. This story is fun, steamy and is perfectly written. Amazing well written characters which you will fall in love with as you read. The banter between the main characters is laugh out loud funny. This is another amazing read from this author, which will have you hooked from the first page. I can' t wait to read more from this author in the future.
