The first few chapters were interesting, but the more I read, the more boring the book became. The writing style wasn't great and i felt like there were to much detail that weren’t necessary!(my opinion of course and no hate to the author!)

This is atrocious. The writing is horrible. There are too many characters and all of them lack depth. In fact every character in this book is a caricature of a human being. In order to have the lives and back stories described everyone in this book would need to be a decade older at least. There does appear to be a single consistent plot point beyond the famous identity, and even that feel more like backstory than plot. I could go on, but this is unreadable.

(read til chapter 40/60, very small spoiler in text so don't read if you're not into that)

It's just not that good. I just saw it was published per chapter at first, which I figure makes a lot of sense. It reads like a chapter-a-week-story. It has no logical story line. Every single chapter something bad happens and then the next chapter it's fixed. Way too many things happen without a logical reason for it. And still everything feels entirely predictable. The storyline is very staccato.

Also, I could not relate to the characters that much. The mom had no character build, she used to be lovely and halfway through suddenly she suddenly becomes a bitch. Trinity obviously has a trauma which sucks for her and her mom but why does she ignore her best friend for FOUR years but will make friends with the new neighbours within a week? (***SLIGHT SPOILER IN NEXT SENTENCE) Also, when the best friend was in the bedroom screaming at the rock star and even TOUCHING him while he was in bed with Trinity, it just seemed so fake to me. That situation in Trins bedroom was such a weird place for the friend to act that way and even to get handsy, I think it's so weird no-one in the book acknowledged that.

If I had read it per chapter I probably would have liked it a lot more because the storyline would not have been as important. And of course the scenario of star-meets-girl-next-door is cool, I can understand why others would like it. But unfortunately it's not for me.
