Into the Blue by Emma Brodie

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Review

I found the romance to be very drawn out without much direction, and I struggled to stay engaged throughout the story. The big turning point event after Noah disappearance was very emotional and tragic and it explains a lot about his decisions but it wasn’t enough to make me love this. Overall, this book has an incredible potential but got lost in its own length and repetition.

❝ We better get back,” said AJ, disappointed. “Dave will think I kidnapped you.” 

“Dave wouldn’t think that,” said Noah, taking her trash and stacking it on top of his. “He knows I’d follow you anywhere.”

He said it easily, and AJ pretended that it hadn’t stopped her heart, and they turned away, leaving Atlas to carry heavier things.❞

From the award-winning author of Songs in Ursa Major comes an epic, decade-spanning love story that blazes through the worlds of acting and comedy, and charts a connection so powerful it might just break space and time itself.

In the summer of 2000, AJ Graves dreams of writing for SNL; instead, she’s stuck working in a video rental store, with slim odds of escaping her Massachusetts small town and large family. Then in walks Noah Drew, the enigmatic and intense scion of the Drew acting dynasty, and her life changes forever. Despite wildly different upbringings, the two forge a deep, cosmic bond first as friends, then as acting partners—until one day, Noah disappears without a word.

Seven years later in New York City, AJ is shocked to find herself cast in the same intergalactic TV production as Noah, by then a well-known Hollywood heartthrob. As their on-screen characters grow closer every day, the lines between reality and acting begin to blur. Unable to stay away from each other, AJ and Noah are forced to confront the truth of what happened years ago—and the devastating secret that will send their lives careening apart, even as fate continues to draw them together.

Blending unforgettable characters, explosive chemistry, and devastating emotion, Into the Blue is a journey unlike any other—one that asks: What does it mean to diverge from the script to forge your own story?
