I'm still debating on what I think about this one.
6/4/13
I liked the world: Hollywood. But I feel a little thrown. The blurb mentions Emma and Reid, but Reid is not our hero (in the traditional meaning of the word). So, why was he in the blurb and Graham wasn't? It's like watching a movie trailer and thinking it's a comedy, but when you see the movie, it's a drama. You feel lied to.
The other thing that bugged me a bit was the amount of distance the writing style gave. I felt very distant from the characters and the things that were going on. I'm not sure if it was too much telling, or what exactly, but by the end, I still didn't feel as close to the characters as I would have expected.
It's a good book, the characters interesting, the romance engaging, and the ending pretty satisfying. But I don't know, I just felt like I was being kept at an arm's length by the book. If a book had arms. :)
