The blurb from the publisher…

Charlie Evans leads an ordinary life. Boring in fact, by many people’s standards. So, when she unexpectedly finds herself tutoring a student on set at Pinewood Studios, the last thing she imagines is that the lead actress is none other than global superstar, Robyn White. 

The same Robyn White her three closest friends have lusted after since they first met back at university a decade-and-a-half ago. Robyn White might be renowned for her enormous smile on the red carpet and her happy-go-lucky attitude; however, it’s all a well-constructed front. Behind the façade is a woman who struggles to fit in, not least because she has a secret, one which on-set tutor Charlie Evans threatens to expose. With tensions rising all around them, will Charlie and Robyn’s attraction reach blockbuster heights or be discarded on the cutting room floor?

My thoughts…

Not in the Script is a self-published book that was first released in 2021 as a Kindle Unlimited selection. Last month it was made available as an audiobook by Audible. Sara Vonn, a first-time narrator for Audible, performs the narration.

This classic celebrity romance is typical for stories in this trope, but it’s fun just the same. The storyline is simple. Robyn White is an A-list Hollywood actress and Charlie Evans is a high school English teacher. The two women orbit in two completely different worlds until they are brought together on the set of Robyn’s new film. Both are there to work, one as the lead actress and the other as a private teacher for a teenage actress in the movie. Sparks fly quickly between the two likable characters and of course the inevitable happens; they fall in love. There’s only one problem though, Robyn is not out to the world at large.

The story is cute, but it is a bit predictable. Yet, most celebrity romances are, so that isn’t a turn-off. It ticks all the boxes, and that’s the important part. Not in the Script gives you a hot, closeted celebrity, a sweet and beautiful “regular” girl, an insta-attraction with serious chemistry, some well-oiled romantic tension and on-set drama. Blend all of that together and you have an entertaining romance that readers love to devour.

Final remarks…

This is a classic celebrity romance in just about every way. If you are one that enjoys this trope, then gear up, this one is for you. You’ll no doubt be entertained by the storyline. Take note though; the narration does require a bit of patience. Vonn’s voice is pleasant enough, but her performance does come across a bit flat at times. However, once you fall into the story, you don’t pay too much attention to it.
