2 stars. Nothing about this book did anything for me. I didn’t like or care about any of the characters, I didn’t like the story itself, and the writing wasn’t even that strong. It wasn’t even entertaining so I was so incredibly bored the entire time. I wasn’t even interested in the movie that they were making because even that seemed boring as hell. Sam was dull and Tate was annoying and self centered so I found it impossible to get invested in anything they had going on. I feel like I just wasted my day reading this and that annoys me more than anything. I’ve got nothing but time but still, I’m annoyed.

3.5 stars

I really liked the premise of this book, and it was easy to get lost in the settings and the story, but overall I felt it was a bit of a missed opportunity.

The authors took on a hefty load with this plot: a whirlwind romance, a media fiasco that kickstarts a career, a strained father-daughter relationship, and multiple forms of betrayal. And while they managed to develop the romantic angle, the rest of the story was lacking for me.

I know romance is their genre and the main point of this book, but the other sub-plot between the main character and her father was just as interesting, if not more so in some places. I wanted so much more from that storyline, and I think if they could have developed that piece more this book would have been so much better.

My least favorite of Christina Lauren's of the ones I have read. Just kind of slow. I wanted MORE!
