Farewell to Hollywood
Kate Sullivan wants revenge, but how far will she go to get it?
Successful corporate lawyer Kate Sullivan still carries scars from the car accident that killed her little sister. Five years ago, she fled Los Angeles to the East Coast to escape the memories of the man who was driving the other car. But now that she is back in LA, now that she has seen his face, she won’t stop until she finds him, even if that means breaking the heart of the man who has information she needs.
Movie director Chris Johnston wants to do more than make films about explosions and aliens. He puts his career and his reputation on the line to make a documentary about human trafficking. He had planned on making the film alone, until a feisty and stubborn East Coast lawyer offers to help. But he risks more than his career when Kate joins his production company…he risks his heart as well.
From the beaches of Malibu to the studios of Hollywood, Farewell to Hollywood is a story of forgiveness, love, and the power of God’s grace.

I have to commend the author for tackling big topics in this book such as human trafficking. I loved following Chris' journey from when he came up with the idea of the documentary, to the planning, filming, editing and also the challenges he faced with distribution. The book highlights some of the challenges creatives face such as having to choose between sticking to the original message and vision God gave and tweaking the message 'a little' so it can be suitable for a wider audience and so you can eventually make more money. It stresses on the fact that when we choose God first and keep Him at the centre of our work, he gives us everything else that we need. I related to that so much being a creative myself and it made me feel seen.
I loved Kate's character growth in this book. I've always suspected there's more to her tough exterior and I will say, there is A LOT. Kate has a lot of suppressed anger, frustration, and hurt which she pours out on everyone around her including her parents. I loved following her journey of faith and her struggles were relatable in many ways. I also loved watching how the truth of the gospel eventually brought about her transformation and healing.
I would recommend this book if you enjoy Christian romance which tackles deep topics such as betrayal, hurt, and forgiveness.

How I love this series! The characters have so much depth and humanity. We see that deeply in this book with Kate and Chris. I have to admit that I disliked Kate most of the book but she also was such a compelling character that I couldn't help but help but admire her for her tenaciousness! Her sister had been killed in a car accident in which Kate was the driver when they were teens. Kate would not rest until the driver of the other car was punished. It has effected her whole life! She is driven, sometimes downright obnoxious! She's met Chris, a famous Hollywood director, before because they have mutual friends but because he is so "spiritual", she is put of by that attribute. Chris is tired of directing Hollywood blockbusters and wants to do something with meaning, like a documentary about human trafficking. He risks everything to make this movie and Kate decides to help him only because she needs a job. When everything implodes in Kate's life, will Chris be able to show her that God can help her endure all the pain? A fabulous book!

Michelle Keener's Red Carpet Romance books are my favorite way to travel to Hollywood, and her characters always make me feel right at home.
In a setting known for the superficial, Keener's characters have depth. They're flawed and forgiven. They struggle with many life issues we all face. When confronted with atrocities, they rise up. When presented with love, they freak out—even as they fall.
This third book in this series warmed my heart and joined the first two as favorites that I look forward to rereading.
