1.0

Excruciatingly saccharine. The main character is a privileged pop star whose only flaw is how selfless and deferential she is. This book is entirely too long. Redundant, repetitive, ridiculous internal monologues. Characters are 100% tropes, 0% relatable. No internet or cell service ANYWHERE in this town? You’re telling me there’s not a nearby strip-mall-laden town with amenities? Not possible, could not suspend my disbelief about that or anything else that happened in this book. And the whole time I kept thinking: SHE ONLY DROVE TWO HOURS TO GET THERE

If you need to satisfy your “celebrity/big city girl needs to escape to the small town/normal life,” I would suggest you watch Notting Hill or read Book Lovers
