Trashy Romance Novel by Jacqueline E. Smith
3.0
Interesting idea, but a little underwhelming. I thought the big conflicts in the story were a little unbelievable. The main character published several books under a pen name and she keeps it a secret from her real life friends. But, she still does book signings and takes pictures and gives interviews and no one is supposed to figure it out? I thought what happened to her in high school that makes her refuse to tell people her real name was going to be something really intense, but it was just some poor decisions and a little bullying. I felt like the characters should have been aged down a lot for that to still have such an impact.
I also thought it was odd that she was on set of the tv show for the whole shoot. She was a co-writer on the script, but she's never consulted or has to do any actual work on the script while she's there. She basically just stands around and watches them film. And the actors seem to get a whole lot of time off? I also HATED her best friend, Gemma. However, the romance was cute and there was some good banter here and there. It wasn't bad for a Kindle Unlimited selection.
