I wanted to like this book. I had such high hopes, but I ended up very disappointed. I didn’t really care for any of the characters, by the end I really didn’t care at all. Even when the “big reveal” happens I just wanted it to be over. The whole book should of been “Cancelled”

Wanted to love this, but I just couldn't. Do not recommend.

Interesting book! It kept my focus, but there were multiple subplots that I felt were rushed to tie up at the end. Overall I think I'll look for more books by this offer

This was thoroughly okay.

I would have liked to see maybe a little less of Poppy's circular thoughts in favor of more development of the romance. I could see the romance developing, but I never really felt like there was any there there. It was more like it happened by rote in order to offer up a complete happy ending for Poppy. And while I did like Poppy's development and was interested in how messed up she was because of her past, I think the book belabored the point at times.

I also found sections a little confusing. Maybe my attention wasn't fully on the book, but I sometimes felt like a transition was missing, like the book would suddenly shift from one scene to the next without me being aware the shift was happening.

Shout out to the book for having a 50-year-old main character, as well as one with a lot of Hollywood in it yet utterly lacking in the stereotypical rags-to-riches glittery Hollywood romance. More of both of these, please.
