BROOOOOOO You ever read a book that beats you to a pulp and all you wanna do it give it a comforting kiss...yeah. Emotional damage isn't even the half of this book. It's just all pain. Ethan is so broken from the get go that you're just waiting for the ember that sets him ablaze in a glorious fire of self destruction. Silly sad sad man. Grey is an absolute bad bitch and I could not stop cackling at the fact that her acting accolades cover that of Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, and Nina Dobrev...like she's actually an icon I cannot believe she's fictional.
Anyways get ready for some PAIN but also don't be surprised if you're obsessed with this book by like 10%.

“Five days, four nights. One bed.” Perfect recipe for a romcom book!
This book is basically an ode to the crazy-obsessed fans of 2000s teen dramas like me! I loved the idea of a love story told from the perspective of the actresses I grew up idolizing. Grey was the perfect heroine for this story, famous and successful, but also felt so real. A lot of books don’t have truly believable dialogue. I never thought that for this book, especially with Grey.
In short, this book was really well written.
I also thought that Ethan was a great complex character. I’ve never see a perspective like his in a book before, which definitely humanized him and the story at large.
Grey and Ethan had great chemistry that didn’t downplay their issues, especially his. The book does a great job at showing how problematic relationships can become if problems are ignored.
Thank you to NetGalley, Dell, and Ava Wilder for providing me access to this book.
