 📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻

The Odds of You is a single POV second-chance/ chance encounters romance. Newly published author Sage has a chance encounter with up-and-coming actor Theo on a flight, and paparazzi pictures of them together start rumors circulating that they’re together. After denying the speculation and parting ways, Sage thinks she’ll never see him again. But when a writer's retreat to help her get over a block in drafting her sequel leads to them crossing paths again, it starts to feel like fate. Still, all the reasons they wouldn’t really work haven’t gone away, and Sage isn’t sure if this second chance is leading her down the right path. This was my first from this author, and her first contemporary romance. I really loved it! I love second chances and also really appreciate the well-done ADHD representation with Sage. I loved the found family aspects, Sage’s friendships, her work on establishing boundaries and Theo’s charm and pursuit of her!

Once is chance. Twice is fate.

Sage Collins knows a thing or two about odds. A year ago, she was a data analyst until she burned it all down to pursue her dream of becoming an author. One whirlwind bestseller and a struggling second book later, and Sage isn’t sure she’ll ever write a novel again.

But then an accidental encounter with an irritating passenger on the flight to Comic Con leaves Sage in an untested position. That passenger is Theo Sharpe: a breakout actor on the cusp of fame. And, unfortunately, the paparazzi have mistaken her for his girlfriend.

Armed with signature British charm and a smile that could tame oceans, Theo wears fame like a well-fit coat…though Sage can see there’s something deeper held in his eyes. But his fans are too involved in the drama, the pressure to deliver the next bestseller is on, and Sage and Theo both must agree there’s nothing between them. They don't have to acknowledge that saying it doesn't make it true.

When Sage decides to flee to Scotland to clear her head and write her novel, she expects to find fresh air and the stillness to think. What she doesn’t expect is Theo Sharpe to come back into her life…and how he may be her greatest miscalculation of all.

An emotionally-charged novel in the vein of Ashley Poston and Yulin Kuang, The Odds of You is a smart and sexy first contemporary novel from bestselling romantasy author Kate Dramis.
