Devlin and Selena's second-chance romance comes with firmer details — a real date, a real page count — which helps a little. But I still can't find anyone who's actually read and weighed in on it, and the plot itself follows a pretty familiar career-versus-love formula, so I'd hold off recommending it outright.
