tenniscereal's review against another edition
A difficult book to get into for me. I liked both of the main characters, but felt the writing and pacing was clunky. I didn't expect a realistic portrayal of the impact of a Cate Blanchett-esque celebrity coming out by dating a younger women, but felt like the attempt to critique privacy issues on two different scales fell flat, when I wasn't at all invested in their relationship. All of the side characters fell flat and the drama didn't seem to matter in the grand scheme of things. The lesbian innuendos were forced and juvenile, and the book felt like it was trying very, very hard not to offend anyone, which made for a very boring and simple story.
Spoiler
Rachel literally breaks into the set to meet Cate in the first place.charlotte_mae16's review against another edition

I liked this one. It was a fast and cute story….not quite the usual “meets a superstar” kind of story….. but I will say it’s extremely had to like Rachel or to believe her massively science based life. Like it was barely address how much research she would be doing…. And with her topic there was absolutely no time in a hospital, interacting with doctors or other medical professions? Like it just seems like it was random draw from a hat kind of job….
