Stars in Your Eyes by Kacen Callender
This book was certainly a lot darker than I had anticipated, which wasn’t a bad thing but definitely a surprise.
The main characters are acting in a movie about two authors who are writing a book together. The two men in the book fall in love, the authors who write about them fall in love, and the actors playing them fall in love. A cutesy premise, but that’s where the cutesy stuff pretty much ends. Both main characters have a lot of trauma to work through, and I appreciate that this book makes them actually deal with it and not just have Love Solve Everything. There were certain points that got repetitive, but overall the book is very engaging and pulled me in right away. I feel like saying more will spoil something, though a lot of the “secrets” are unfortunately expected if you are looking for it (because of how the world works, not because the book was predictable or poorly written)
