i’m so happy i got the signed copy because oh my god this book is amazing.

my suggestion is to go into this blind. really the blur on the back doesn’t give too much away which is perfect. everything that happened was a surprise to me in one way or another.

this is definitely a perfect ya book / mystery / teeny bit of romance.
i absolutely adored the multiple pov’s so you could get insight in every individual character.

the book shows the possible dark side of the media / management and acting careers. it teaches ya in a “fun” way that everything you see online is some sort of scheduled.

all in all the book holds a great message and i had a fantastic time reading it!

will there be a second one??

„I hop off the plane at LAX […]. No dream and a cardigan here.“ if this isn’t reason enough for you to read it idk what’s wrong

okay so: idea? amazing. the first 200 pages? meh. the end? amazing.
i felt like the introduction was too long and a bit confusing (might just be me tho) and it kind of got boring (which is why it took me so long to read it) but then when things started to unravel and they made the plan it was actually really good and i finished it really fast. wish we could’ve seen a bit more of that. i liked the characters a lot, they were all real and the multiple pov helped to relate to all of them. all in all it was really cool and it was so interesting to kinda see the bts of this industry.

Honestly this book was lame, the relationships in the novel were weird and forced, it was not thrilling and it was definitely not what was advertised. I hated the end especially the epilogue. The book also made a point to say the characters were in danger multiple times but I never actually felt like they were in any danger.

not a good thriller
