Sometime After Midnight by L. Philips

The idea is good (albeit more Romeo and Juliet than Cinderella), it’s decently
plotted, but the characterization always felt off for me. The actions that bring these characters together are so creepy (a famous person asking their followers to find someone who doesn’t want to be found, doing an anonymous gig callback when the person clearly doesn’t want to have anything to do with you) that I just couldn’t buy the way they do come together. Even though the characters acknowledge this, it’s done in this “I know this was kind of creepy of me, but that’s showbiz” kind of way that ultimately ruined the book for me.
