Reel by Kennedy Ryan

With each novel, Kennedy Ryan teaches a master class in romantic writing, and Reel is no exception. The behind-the-scenes account of the creation of a biography about (fictitious) jazz musician Dessi Blue. When hotshot director Canon Holt discovers Broadway understudy Neevah Saint, he recognizes her unique skill — but he isn't expecting to fall in love with her.

Ryan weaves the needle through a tangled web of storylines, including on-set life, Neevah and Canon's prior pain and current electric chemistry, and Dessi Blue's background. But it's her sharp depiction of chronic sickness — Neevah has lupus that makes Reel so moving. There's a harrowing realization of the cost and fragility of living life with an open heart and the tremendous pleasures of doing so, nevertheless.
