It was fine! For the good first half of this book it was just silly, there were no stakes, no real seriousness as to why this grown woman would think stalking a celebrity and convincing him to call off his wedding is a good idea.
It took more than halfway through to dig into any real emotions between the love interests, to get even a hint at possible motives (you know, other than “she's cuckoo-pants”), and then suddenly there are stakes based on real trauma, and that's when I felt like the book got way better, and the friends-to-lovers romance got way more interesting (though, YO - twenty years is a long freaking time to be in love with your best friend without doing anything about it!!!).
If Keanu is your thing, there are lots of references to Keanu movies and things here, comic cons and costumes, and movie sets and Easter eggs. He's not especially my bag, but I won't yuck your yum.
