I reviewed this at MustReadBooksOrDie with my friend Shelley!Court: It is very safe to say that Shelley and I are both big fangirls and if there is a celebrity in a book...we totally dig it. It is another instance of something so far away from our real life that we just flock to it like a moth to a flame. So when we saw this book is about an actor and a movie set fling...we were like "Righteous!" Shel: Completely true. I saw the blurb and quickly signed us up for the tour!Shel: Micah and Maddie meet a party...and while their conversation was pretty hot, I was expecting soon after when he becomes a big Hollywood Hot Shot for the story to go in a pretty cliche direction. The beginning was a little rocky for me...but not long after things pick up and I became really invested in their story. Shel: Micah had issues long before he became a star, thanks to his mom...and then his agent DID NOT help things...so his inability to consider a relationship with anyone was a significant obstacle. Maddie, while easier to identify with, also had issues with getting emotionally intimate with men...also an obstacle. Together these two made me crazy. They both had these interior monologues that were so honest and truthful but had a frustratingly hard time saying those things out loud. Eventually I felt less like I wanted to smack them and more like I wanted to hug them but they made me work for it.Court: These two characters have chemistry out of this world, but they are both held back by expectations and fear. Each of these things makes it an interesting ride to find out what will happen between them! It was a lot of fun! Shel:Yep..the chemistry was there from the beginning; the follow up was what was challenging.Courtney: 4 StarsShelley: 3 1/2 Stars
