This book was just meh to me. I felt the characters and the storyline were just flat  I lost interest halfway. The characters just weren’t that compelling to me so I found myself thinking of the Truman Show and thinking that it had a better storyline with better characters. I didn’t particularly like Orla either who I think were supposed to relate to best. I found most of the characters too shallow. Also, I had a real problem with Orla’s obsession with Danny. I’m not sure why but it seemed like she was obsessed with the idea that he saw her first and so somehow he belonged to her, which is such a teenage mindset. I did feel bad in the parts describing her college experience, but beyond that, I wasn’t too sympathetic with her character. 

The book is about two women. Marlon, who is stuck in a Truman show and Orla, an aspiring novelist, stuck writing blogs about celebrities. Orla meets Floss, who is desperate to be a star and they hatch a plot on how to raise her stardom.
