Oop. Honestly, I forgot I read this, and that's a bad sign if there ever was one. I'm realizing that unlike most of the book world, I actually don't love books about books, or books about writing and publishing. But hey, who doesn't love being a rebel!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me this ARC for an honest review!
I really, really wanted to like this book. It wasn't exactly bad, but it wasn't the greatest. It had an interesting premise but it was executed poorly.
For over half of the book I kept dreading having to read Lanie's point of view. She was unnecessarily whiny, rude, and selfish. I was being very close to not finishing the book because of her.
The writing was often awkward and boring. It's crazy to say it needed to be longer. The too many subplots made it such an unenjoyable read. There was no chemistry between Lanie and Noah. Their relationship had no development.
At the end of the say, this is just my honest opinion.
