The Sitcom Star by Jackie Lau -> Starting October 6th, 2024

[Melanie]

Adrian Ma hasn’t seen his childhood crush in years—until she appears on his TV screen.

Maddie Ng, the co-creator and star of Chu’s Restaurant, clearly has a different life from Adrian, an easygoing web developer who spends his free time hanging out with friends, babysitting his nephew, and eating fried chicken. Sure, it might not be Hollywood, but Maddie’s gorgeous face appears in ads for Canada’s hit sitcom all over Toronto.

He doesn’t expect to see her in real life.

He certainly doesn’t expect to spill bubble tea all over her.

Their chance encounter leads to him teaching an overworked Maddie how to relax, and to his surprise, the attraction isn’t one-sided.

Yet as things heat up between them, Adrian wonders how long this can last. He wants to be the man who loves and supports her behind the scenes, but he’s not sure that’s possible.

After all, she’s Maddie Ng, the sitcom star, and he’s just a regular guy.

Chapters 1-4

This is cute so far. I love that Maddie made lists on how to relax which didn't work at all. Her hanging out with Adrian while he teaches her how to relax seems like such a cute premise, I'm enjoying it so far.

Chapters 5-8

I'm loving Maddie and Adrian together, I like how at ease they are with each other. It's adorable that his friends told her he had a crush on her at thirteen. I have to say though that the fried chicken with ice cream sandwich sounds gross.

Chapters 9-12
(view spoiler)[
These two are so good together. I have a feeling they're both going to let fear get in the way of confessing their feelings for each other but hopefully it's not too bad. I don't like that Adrian thinks she's too good for him so I hope she dispels him of that notion.

Chapters 13-15

I'm so glad they didn't let their fears become this whole big thing. I thought the way Adrian confessed his feelings was really sweet and I loved it. Overall I really enjoyed this one and definitely need to read the sequel soon.
