Going Off Script by Jen Wilde
2.0
I can't say this book was excellent, or even great as a story, but it was definitely a light and quick read if you're looking for such a book for summer.
A lot of it felt very unrealistic and not in a fun way. The MC gets an intern job at a hit show, days later meets some famous YouTubers, models, and actors, and goes up against a cartoon villain like the harbringer of gay rights.
The entire book felt very shallow, filled with random infodumps and conflicts or fights that were resolved all too quickly—not because the characters were able to control themselves and think logically, but because the writing and scenes were rushed out in a matter of paragraphs.
The romance was nice, and I really love wlw stories. It did feel quite fast, and I don't feel like the characters connected very much as the romance played out.
All in all, as I said, the entire conflict and most villains felt very shallow. Instead of a profound look into what goes on behind the camera it read like a juvenile story.
