What. A. Great. Book. Fabulous. Brilliant. Beautifully written. Wonderful characters. Gush. Gush. Gush.I have resisted writing a review for a while as the last 10 books I read were abysmal & I didn't want ALL my reviews to be pissy & negative. What a joy this book was to read in contrast. The characters were 3 dimensional & beautifully crafted. They had human flaws but weren't so flawed that you couldn't connect with them. They were all people I would love to meet in real life & befriend. This is a romance where the angst didn't seem contrived or over-dramatic...it just added to the development of the story. Although I have no personal experience of Hollywood (unless you count a slight obsession with Robert Pattinson) or journalism, I found the storyline to be believable. There was no soap opera-like drama. It was just a wonderful story about regular people living regular lives whilst trying to find love in a world where being gay or famous means you can't always be yourself. I'm rambling but I so want others to read this story & I don't want to spoil the book by revealing too much.Another reviewer said they didn't like the ending but for me it was perfect. I would enjoy a sequel because I fell in love with the characters & I would love to spend a couple more hours in their world but a sequel isn't necessary.If you love realistic characters; wonderful dialogue; angst that isn't contrived; & love conquering all, then read this book.
