Pop culture girlies unite, this one is for you! I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s a smart commentary on how the media treated young women in the 2000’s and how their male colleagues sold them out for their own success. I was hooked and invested from the start. There are some fun twists along the way as well. While you mainly get Kat’s point of view you do get tidbits from the other costars. That on top of the dual timelines and media snippets really enhances the story. I appreciated the drama but I felt that the pacing was a little slow at times. I recommend this book for fans of Once More With Feeling by Elissa Sussman and Open Book by Jessica Simpson.
