VERY big 7 husbands of evelyn hugo vibes off this but a little more drawn out; similar frustrations related to BLATANT MISCOMMUNICATION as i had with normal people. i read most of it in one sitting & i think it i hadn’t i would’ve found it harder to finish because of how drawn out it felt at times, but reading it almost all at once really sucked me into it!! absolutely adored the ending. considering i’m not usually a romance fan, i think this would be perf for anyone who is

The view was exhausting... this book was exhausting
Stinker of a book. Every chapter written just so the characters could have sex to the point of it becoming redundant. The POV was hard to follow, as far as time. Silly and petty confrontations and superficial relationships. I didn't care for any of it. Had to quit reading.
Very fun Hollywood romance. Thoughtful and fraught take on race, gender and public image.
3.5 stars. A super fun Hollywood romance but…. I WANTED MORE OF THEM TODAY!!!
I am quite literally obsessed with this book. It falls under one of my all-time favorite set ups (fake celebrity relationships!!) and it's just a killer romance. Clements and Datta create gorgeous tension not only between Win, an A-list actress with a tenuous relationship to public opinion, and Leo, a handsome and charming trust funder, but also Win and the very concept of fame. A rich and rewarding read!!!
Just finished and having a major book hangover. I didn’t want it to end. It was so fantastic.
starts slow but then gets really good - it felt like the main couple had genuine obstacles to overcome and the climax felt earned. the only thing that seemed a bit contrived was the effectiveness of the fake dating ploy but maybe I'm just out of the loop
Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The view into Whit’s life is exhausting. Clements and Datta racket up the tension so finely that you feel the weariness in your bones. I love the way they were able to transform my initial opinion of Whit (“rich beautiful people problems” and “big Hemingway vibe” were my initial notes) into a nuanced take on how she set her high self-expectations as a response to societal pressure as a young woman of color in the movie industry. I almost get the inverse towards Leo, as we learn why he made the choice he did, but ultimately felt the plot was better served by that backwards step. Gold star for houseboats.
Came to it after reading Emily Henry’s rave review and looking forward to whatever they write next!
