I wanted to like this one, but I just couldn't find the empathy needed for Win. I know that she was a complex character dealing with stresses of work and personal life, but I just found her to be more cold/calculating than I anticipated for a main character.

Diría que 4.5/5, teniendo en cuenta que al final es una novela donde el centro es el romance (las 5 estrellas en una novela así no me parecen equivalentes a 5 estrellas en fantasía o distopía).
Dicho esto, me parece que tiene algo especial en cuanto a representación: te hace reflexionar y entender mejor el racismo y el machismo en la industria de la fama.
En general la novela engancha, aunque la parte intermedia se me hizo un poco más lenta/aburrida. La relación entre los protagonistas es creíble y bonita. Y bestfriends to lovers con fake dating y slow burn. O sea, mi mierda.
Muy recomendable si os gustó Daisy Jones y Evelyn Hugo.

so i actually liked this book a lot. it took me a bit to actually get into it but when i did it was super fun. something about rich people and their rich people problems...
whitman tagnore is a pretty angel baby princess. has never done anything wrong in her life! she such a perfect main character. living in her head was so fun. and literally everything she did made complete sense. like everyone around her was such a bum. nothing she did was ever good enough for them and they refused to understand her position. give this girl a break omg. shift is such a bad friend idc. the way she spoke to winnie was so unnecessary, like just because ur a loser tradwife does nawt give u the right to act like that.
leo wonderbread - ugly FREAK. when we started giving him povs... we should stop letting men speak i fear. he was a cute accessary for winnie ig. but why was this jobless nepo baby speaking about winnie's job like that? ur a bum go home! his white man ally thing pissed me off the entire book but im glad that he got better ig. its pretty annoying that we had to wait until 80% of the book before he understood that it was not his place to tell winnie how to behave as towards bigotry. and this man was hiding a whole wife to??? jail
anyways this book was fun and whitman stole the show with her divatude!

I’m genuinely surprised this book isn’t rated higher, it was great! Sure it’s Hollywood romance topic could be viewed as frivolous, but underneath there was much more depth to it than that, with strong undercurrents of feminism and subtle racism and the fickle attention we give celebrities and social media personalities.
It was well written, the characters felt real and the love between Whitman and Leo gave me the warm and fuzzies.
I definitely enjoyed this book as much as I did The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
