Lila Keaton is a writer who can’t seem to find anymore inspiration for a new book. Her agent finds an old box of souvenirs from her past that she does not want to think about ever again, but of course her agent has other plans. She pitches the idea of Lila writing her story and using her past to fuel a book that would keep everyone talking, mainly because her past deals with the most popular DJ, Hunter Michaels or Arial Assault as he is known. Hunter is thrown back into her life and Lila cannot decide what she wants to do. After rekindling, she finds out he has a girlfriend and is devastated so she basically runs away for solitude.Enter Grant. Dreamy guy that gets Lila all hot and bothered. He’s not just easy on the eyes though; he actually cares for Lila in their short time knowing each other and ends up falling for her. Grant gets Lila out of her shell, and even has her hang out with his best friends. “Guys like him didn’t exist, yet here he was shattering any delusions I held about what was real and what was fiction. The lines blurred and suddenly I no longer cared.”So just when you think that you have this plot figured out as the reader, BAM J.L. Brooks knocks you back down and you are literally trying to figure out where the next turn in the book is going to go. Because Lila is a writer, you find yourself being a story within a story at some points as she is working out what she is writing. To me, this sometimes got confusing since there was so much going on. I have to say, the ending left me with my mouth open catching flies. I totally did not see that coming at all and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. I give this a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
