This book suffers from expectation versus reality. It's a look into character relationships and how those change over time, and less about the Hollywood drama. I expected something a little more campy versus the serious tone the book took. Overall, it felt like it had too slow of a pace for the cadence of the story and plot. The character development is amazing and there's some great plot twists, though. The writing style incorporates multimedia (chat rooms, articles, etc.) which is really fun.
