Review:
Francesca Cooper is in a rut. Working as an assistant for a temp agency, she has never gotten her career off the ground. Stew, her boyfriend of twelve years and now fiance is embarrassed of her position, but won't let her seek anything outside of their small town of Sheffield. Francesca decides to take a chance and applies for a celebrity PA gig in London. The job whisks Francesca away aboard a luxury yacht for five days while she assists the superstar singer, Juliette, on her way to the event of the year, the Crystal Ball. After several ups and downs with Juliette, Francesca finds herself at the Crystal Ball alone, but she doesn't want to waste this chance of a lifetime. While trying to navigate between billionaires, Francesca bumps into Evan, who agrees to be her guide. Sparks fly, but Francesca holds true to her engagement. Will she take another chance and follow her heart?
On a Night Like This is a romantic comedy that hits all the right notes. Francesca's story is fun and feel-good while exploring failure and taking chances. Francesca is completely relatable; she is super organized professionally and a complete mess personally. Francesca is an overachiever and a people-pleaser who has lost who she is until she takes a chance on a once in a lifetime job with an over-the-top celebrity. I loved seeing Fran excel at her job and form a friendship with Juliette. Juliette was a surprising character and more complex than I would have imagined. I'm glad that Fran took the time to peel back some of her layers. The Crystal Ball was described perfectly and I could imagine the many rooms in all of their overdone, sparkling glory. The romance is sweet and completely swoon-worthy and gives off a Cinderella type vibe. Evan is charming from the start and I loved that he went at Francesca's pace and did not push her to do more than she wanted at any point. While I enjoyed the romance, I liked seeing Francesca grow and realize and expand her horizons even more.
