OUR REVIEW:
The Odds of You synopsis had things that were an immediate draw for me: celebrity secret romance, debut writer hitting it big, romance, Scotland....lots of things that would suck me right in-which I need right now. This novel did have many things that I enjoyed, but truth be told, I also struggled. I had trouble not getting frustrated with Sage, unfairly, I'll admit, but her struggle was so visceral that I felt it and wanted to fix it and when it wasn't happening, I struggled. I also didn't quite follow the big blow up--I mean, I did, but I didn't see it as much of a big deal as the character did. That being said, even though it was a solid three star read for me, I am still thinking about it, so maybe I'll revise my star rating upwards. The private moments between Theo (her love interest) and Sage were warm and fuzzy. Sage's friend group was the best and I super loved that they had their own group chat with Theo outside of Sage. I also loved the work Sage did to move forward with her life and family in ways that felt right and healthy for her. Lots to enjoy with The Odds of You.

SYNOPSIS:
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.

Sage's journey in The Odds of You sounds like it has that perfect mix of tension and chemistry, especially with the celebrity twist! I totally get why you’d struggle with her character—sometimes you just want to fix things for them. The whole 'mistaken for his girlfriend' thing definitely adds some drama, though. I’m curious to see how Theo and Sage’s dynamic plays out. If you’re into those slow-burn romances with a bit of angst, this might be your next read.
