What to expect
In Hollywood, reputation is the only currency that matters. Blackburn Press is the agency cashing in on it. They know exactly which strings to pull to bring any fallen celebrity back into the spotlight.
Because behind every fallen star is a shadow.
When Charlotte Tate lands a job at Hollywood’s biggest public relations firm, she does everything in her power to go from assistant to strategist—a coveted role that demands she pay her dues.
She spends her days fetching coffee and handling every task imaginable for her boss. Two years in, neither her career nor her long-term relationship has progressed past its college phase. Charlotte has quietly become a ghost in her own life.
That is, until former teen heartthrob, Holden Strauss walks through their office doors in desperate need of a comeback. The kind of high level client that will finally put her on the map to be taken seriously in the industry.
But when a mysterious pendant lands in her hands, the job becomes far more dangerous than a PR challenge. To revive a fallen heartthrob’s career, Charlotte must confront a dangerous truth:
How much of her own life is she willing to sacrifice to repair someone else’s reputation?

In no way could I tell where this book was going to go based on the blurb. I thought it was going to be a run of the mill contemporary romance and then there were paranormal/ghost elements all of a sudden! It was a pleasant surprise.
There were strong themes of not settling and putting yourself out there in this book. Charlotte would have stayed where she was in her career and relationship if it weren’t for a meddling ghost. I enjoyed her character development though there were many questionable decisions made.
I liked the romance in the book. Charlotte and Holden started out pretty fast when they had their fake relationship to maintain. I liked that there was a period of time where Charlotte got to rebuild herself without considering anyone else's feelings in the mix. The ending was perfect in my opinion.
The audiobook was a great way to experience this book. The narrator did a great job at embodying all of the characters. The only complaint I have is that the repetitive phrase could be a bit much with the echoing sound effect, but I got used to it. It didn’t impede my overall enjoyment of the story.
Overall this was a solid read. I did want to know a bit more about the why of the meddling ghost and her family, but it wasn’t needed for the story to feel complete. I recommend this book to readers who like a sprinkle of paranormal in their reads.iceburg.hobbies 2026-10-04 -

Redemption Arc was SO much fun. I spent so much of this audiobook giggling, smiling, and even gasping from shock at times.
The chemistry and the fake dating situation made for such a fun combination, and there was plenty of drama to keep me invested.
I also really enjoyed the paranormal elements. They added something different to the story and made this feel like more than just a Hollywood romance.
And I legitimately GASPED and almost had to pull my car over at one point because Ashley hit me with both at the same event.
Overall, this was just such a great listen. It kept me entertained the entire time, and I had a lot of fun with it!
