It’s been a decade since Merritt Valentine’s peak as a celebrated singer-songwriter… and her subsequent career-ending mental breakdown. Since then, she’s abandoned the glitz of Los Angeles to move in with her sister, Olivia, in the sleepy Colorado ski town of Crested Peak, hoping to heal her lingering emotional wounds of the spotlight.
Life in Crested Peak would be uncomplicated if not for Merritt’s inconvenient crush on the local contractor and handyman, Nikolaos Petrakis. Niko is disarmingly handsome and too kind-hearted to ever be right for the complex and prickly Merritt. Though tempting, a fling with Niko would only bring the kind of drama Merritt has vowed to leave behind.
After his last heartbreak, Niko is done dating his fellow townies. Still, he can’t shake his fascination with the brilliant Merritt, even as he heeds their mutual friends’ warnings to steer clear of her chaos. But when Merritt needs help fixing up a house of her own, Niko is glad to be the only man for the job.
As the two spend more time together, their mutual attraction sparking a deeper connection than either one expects, they’re forced to confront the idea that they may have underestimated each other– and themselves.

It didn’t take me long to fall in love with this story. It’s such a heartwarming story that will break your heart multiple times.
Some Kind Of Famous was the first book that I read by Ava Wilder; the cover and the blurb are what caught my attention. You never know what to expect when it’s a new author. The story blew me away. My only regret is that I didn’t discover Ava earlier. The writing in this book was beautiful and felt almost like the lyrics to me. My eyes were glued to the book, and I only put it down when I had to. This book had a few dull moments; something was always happening. The way that the author described emotions in this story were phenomenal, and I felt every single one of those emotions.
My favorite was the connection between Niko and Meritt. There were so many heartfelt moments between them, and it seemed that Meritt was the happiest when she was with him. I enjoyed how the author developed the relationship between Niko and Meritt. I was rooting for the two of them all through the book. I hoped that they would find a way to be together and stay together. In general, Niko is the type of guy every girl dreams about; he’s caring and listens. I could go on about what else I loved about him, but I don’t want to give too much away.
On the other hand, Meritt was a complex character; at first, I had trouble connecting with her. I understood why she acted the way she did, but I didn’t always agree with her actions. However, she grew on me, and she changed a lot from the beginning of the book; her character development was one of my favorites in the book. This was one of the most emotional books that I have read. I am eager to check out rest of Ava Wilder’s books!
