Tabloid Star is a decent novel, although it wasn't terribly gripping. I bought it looking for something simple and cute, and that's exactly what I got.The characters were well-formed and managed to develop as the story progressed--as did their relationship, which did a fairly good job of transitioning from random hook-up to Something Deeper.The plot was fairly well-done, and, although it remained on the simple side of things, it had no gaping plot-holes. There were a few things that could have been developed better or that simply didn't add much to the story, but they also didn't detract anything from it. Also, while the antagonist turned out to be fairly cliche and one-dimensional, it wasn't too obvious who he was (or I was over-thinking things and giving the author too much credit...), which is pretty impressive for the simplicity of the novel.Smut was present and well-written, but didn't hijack the story as so often happens.All in all it was a pretty good read, I'm glad that I read it, and I'd recommend it as light reading.
