This book was pretty boring, to be honest. I've always seen it promoted as a cute f/f romance but there's hardly any of that. It's a split POV between Josh, a spoiled and massively annoying rich boy from Malibu, and Vanessa, an Asian American actress struggling to find herself while keeping a "good girl" reputation. I have NO IDEA why Josh was even a thing. His POV didn't really seem to have a purpose and, like I said, massively annoying. Vanessa wasn't too bad; her realization of her sexuality and her anxiety over her career was really relatable. The end was adorable, but getting there was such a goddamn chore.
