While I enjoyed this book, I felt distracted by the writing. I couldn’t help but see the authors in the story and I found that to be quite distracting. Other than that, I left the book feeling like I did not know the characters besides how they were as writers. In other words, the characters were rather underdeveloped especially Katrina. I was also peeved by how Katrina was characterized throughout the book in the present or even four years back compared to her six years back. It seem to be an entirely different character and while that could maybe be excused as character development we see so little from six years back and so little of that growth that it feels completely unjustified and like a mistake  in her characterization.
