I really liked this book. I love Reid's writing, but it felt a little disjointed. I was invested but not excited

For the record, this was SO much better than The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I feel like the concept held strong throughout the book and I actually like the first hand accounts of the story. It wasn’t just massive slabs of: then I felt like, then I said, and I did this. 
However I still don’t get the point of

doing a surprise like, “oh and the author of this book is Billy’s daughter OMG”

 
Like what is the obsession, it really displaces my focus from the book. It added nothing emotional for me personally.
