Relatively Famous is an easy, non-angsty read that flows really well and has likable characters.  This is the kind of book where you know what’s going to happen but you just sit back, enjoy the ride and watch it all unfold.I’m a pop culture junkie, so I was more than happy to review Relatively Famous.  Sydney, the daughter of a Hollywood power couple, disappears from the spotlight at 12 years old and grows up completely avoiding television, magazines, movies or anything else that will remind her of the entertainment industry.  She has been abandoned by her ultra famous father this entire time and this causes her to avoid any types of relationships accept for the occasional one night stand.  By chance, she meets the incredibly sexy and handsome Drew Forrester.  There’s just something about Drew that has her hanging on.  The only problem is that they both have secrets that they’re not ready to share with each other.  Although the ending was a bit reminiscent of Love Unscripted by Tina Reber, it didn’t really matter to me.I liked the fact that Sydney was intelligent and independent.  She could stand on her own two feet and is not the type of girl that would allow someone to take advantage of her.  Not only is Drew sweet, but he’s super Alpha – one of my favorite traits in a book boyfriend.  Together, sparks fly and there is sex a plenty, including a very hot bathtub scene.  Sydney also has a best friend, Leah, who is not only her support system, but also adds some humor and craziness to her life.  I can definitely see a spin off novel with her character.I didn’t necessarily buy the whole reasoning behind Sydney being taken away from her dad and not being able to see him for 12 years.  I do hope we’ll see them reconcile in the next book, Absolutely Famous.  I think adding that, plus adding more interaction with Adam could have added a lot more angst to the story.I’m very much looking forward to continuing on with the series to see what happens with Sydney and Drew.
