pickGrey Brooks, an up and coming Hollywood star and Ethan, a reclusive A lister star are put into a fake relationship. With the hope of both boosting their careers. Although it‘s meant to be a PR stunt, it‘s obvious that it is so much more than what was planned.
Even though Hollywood can be fake, how do they recognise the real thing?
This is not a light easy read as it deals with grief, addiction and the price of fame. A great debut.
so-soThis was fine. I didn‘t fall in love with either of the main characters; nothing wrong with them, but they didn‘t feel special. The character I liked the most was the hero‘s ex-wife; she was minor but great.
Hoping to read a few chapters before our next walk. 🐶
pickThis was a little more than I expected, given the fluffy-looking cover. Yes, it is a romance, but it‘s also a good look at alcoholism, grief, and the ugly side of fame. #bbrc:get your act together #ISpyBingo: trees, brunette
pickEnjoyed this one! It‘s not really a light-hearted romcom, as it deals with heavy issues such as alcoholism, unresolved grief, and the downfalls of fame. But the fake dating trope between two Hollywood stars was interesting…I‘m sure it actually happens IRL!

#pop23 - a book about or set in Hollywood
so-soI liked the tension, just felt like the story ended with it & then started up again, which was weird. It was a really well written struggle with substance use, and I also like how strong and firm Grey was with boundaries from page 1. Not a lot of growth there, but it was a fine read
pickThis book includes some heavier topics. Not a fluffy, lighthearted rom-com, but well-written
