“I don't want to witness the moment when the perfect star actually shows to the world that he's not so perfect after all.”  

I don’t know how to feel about this book. Some parts, I loved, some felt unnecessary and dragged out. Did I like this book? Not sure. Did I like the characters? Yes. I enjoyed Sebastian Weaver over Naomi “Nao” Chester. I felt that Naomi probably has more depth to her, but I felt like I didn’t get to know her and I didn’t know who she was really. I felt that we explored more about Sebastian characters. However, there are many things that wasn’t explained about Sebastian. I am hoping however that I see more of their emotional connection in the second book, rather than their physical.

Honestly was a fever dream but definitely read trigger warnings. There were some good plot twists but if you pay attention you can see them coming. Hella smut tho.
