Reid Alexander is the typical playboy who gets every girl he lays eyes on bc he is not only heartbreakingly beautiful and charming, but a movie star as well. All he cares about is sex, drinking, getting high, parties, fast cars, and of course, his work as an actor bc it allows him to maintain this lifestyle. I immediately loved to hate him bc he represents every player I have ever met in my entire life. However, just like every player I have ever met, you see that there are reasons for his careless and destructive behavior. His dad is a workaholic, his mom is an alcoholic, and he has had his heartbroken by the only girl he ever thought he loved.
Enter Emma Pierce. She is getting her big break as an actress landing the lead role opposite Reid Alexander, but she craves normalcy since she has never had it before. She has tutors, instead of going to school, so there there are no dances or enjoying lunch period with her friends. Her father and agent Dan pick all of her roles for her and she does whatever they tell her to do, even though what she would love to do is theater. Her only link to a normal life is her best friend Emily.
Reid of course sets his sights on Emma, unable to resist their immediate chemistry. He soon learns she is a challenge when she doesnt immediately fall to his feet begging him to take her to bed with him. Not only does Emma resist Reid, he also learns he has competition for Emma, one of their costars Graham Douglas.
I immediately fell in love with Graham. You could tell he was a good guy and he forms a friendship with Emma instead of treating her as a means to an end like Reid does. He also serves to be a bit of a mystery bc you arent sure of what his relationship is with their costar Brooke.
I loved how this book is told from the point of view of both Reid and Emma. I think it was important to see both of their perspectives. There is a lot going on in this book between all of the characters, mainly, Reid, Emma, Graham and Brooke. This book is more than a love triangle, it is a well developed story that delves into the lives of the main characters and makes you feel for them, even the despised Reid Alexander. I really didnt like him at all, but as a psych major I found him intriguing.
If you are into love stories with well developed characters and interesting story lines than this is a book for you. It is a series, so you will want to immediately buy the sequel, Where You Are. It picks up right where this book ends. I will definitely be rereading this series. I loved it!!
