First off, this would've been way more enjoyable as an audiobook but I couldn't find one. It's pretty long which means that it was a bit too long for me in this form but as an audiobook I think the longer form could have done really really well.
Second, I hate the 4th wall breaking talking-to-the-reader thing so so much.
Third, there are far too many characters. I'm supposed to remember 3 big families plus 3 or 4 security teams full of people. It's too much. I couldn't keep names, ages, details, or relationships straight.
I absolutely loved the constant attention to how female celebrities deal with far more misogyny than male celebrities and how young girl celebrities are sexualized and harassed as literal children.
The catalyst for Farrow and Maximoff coming out is something that I think is going to make a lot of people angry but I thought it was a clever twist on the trope that made it far more interesting.

I read this book in one sitting and I absolutely loved it. The characters just felt so real. Wile there is definitely some cheesy romance, it felt like something you would see in real life.
Unlike most romance novels, it was clear this was building a world and extensive cast. So there was a lot of background details and information, but I just ate up the world they created.
It was light hearted but not fake, honest and cute, and the spicy was great too!
Over all, just a fantastic read.
