once again i am floored by a book about hollywood... i have a type and its anything that reminds me of taylor jenkins reid. this book paired celebrity drama with fake dating which basically means it was written for me. i loved the character building, the slowburn romance and the discussions on racism and sexism in hollywood which defo added a lot of depth to the characters who i really liked despite their flaws
the ending was so so satisfying too

Summary: M/F, contemporary romance, fake relationship, high profile British-Indian actress + press favorite rich boy

Started strong, dragged a bit in the middle, but finished in a satisfying way. The audiobook is a bit hard to follow during the first half of the book when they're going back and forth in time telling their backstory
