Behind the Scenes by Dahlia Adler
2.0
2.5 stars
Adler's writing style is fun and engaging, and the supporting characters in this book are great, from teen star Vanessa Park to jerk-with-a-heart Josh to Liam Holloway, the sweet, vulnerable, real, and wonderful love interest who's probably my favorite book boy of the year so far. Liam is the stuff that chick lit dreams are made of. But the main character Ally just made me want to scream--if she didn't want her best friend fake-dating her boyfriend, she could have a. told her best friend that she was dating Liam and b. just said so. Ally just kept on creating trouble for herself throughout the book, hurting the people who cared about her most and priding herself on being superior to all the "fake Hollywood people" while being just as fake herself.
I would try another book by this author, especially since she kept me reading despite the massively irritating main character, as long as it has a minimum of Ally.
