I enjoyed this book but I feel like it had the potential to be better - especially dealing with celebrities and alcoholism/addiction. The story was good, not anything new to the genre of Hollywood/fake dating tropes. Ethan’s behavior annoyed me but also Grey ran away a lot and her whole family narrative wasn’t deeply explored. And the chemistry wasn’t as strong as the sexual tension was just there. 

I’d read another one of Ava Wilder’s books because she’s a decent writer. The story just didn’t work for me.
