They love to hate each other, but their public personas are at odds with the reality of their personalities. Very cute and quick read. 3/

Took awhile for the book to pick up and I think the second half of the book would have worked better as the main storyline. Wish it could have been slightly longer as I felt the book ended abruptly.

Well, this was different. Entering the lives of two tween stars hounded by the paparazzi and under the restraint of their family-friendly contracts, this little book gives us a glimpse into what it’s like to be a celebrity at such a young age and the pressures that come along with that. I wouldn’t call it a perfect read, but I did manage to get through it fairly quick. Still, I found that my enjoyment dipped in the second half, losing a lot of the spark that the two leads had in their earlier scenes.

Jenna and Jonah are co-stars pretending to be more both on and off the screen. When their hit tv show is canceled, will they be able to stop pretending and start living? I enjoyed this audiobook performance very much. Jenna/Charlie and Jonah/Aaron are delightful characters and it's easy to root for them, even when they keep not seeing what is right in front of them.

Had some wonderfully funny moments, but left me a bit disappointed. Enjoyed reading along as both Jenna and Jonah rediscovered themselves, but found the pacing a bit off.

Jenna & Jonah's Fauxmance by Brendan Halpin and Emily Franklin tells the story of Charlie and Fielding (Aaron) who have spent the past several years playing Jenna and Johah on a cheesy teen family show and pretending that they're a couple off screen. The two are not fond of each other. When a publicity stunt goes bad the two are forced to spend time together first at a secluded beach house and then performing for a theater production of Much Ado About Nothing.
I've had this book on my shelf for a while but put off reading it because it didn't look that great. I was very pleasantly surprised. The story is told in alternating voices and both of the characters are interesting and fully developed. What initially seems like a light and fun story turns intelligent and fun at the end as the two characters look into themselves while working on their characters in the Shakespeare play.
Appropriateness: There is no adult content in the book. The references to Shakespeare are fantastic and they are placed in a way that makes readers interested in the play. I would recommend this book to teens who like quirky romances. I would place the interest level at 13+ with it not being inappropriate for a younger audience.
