This was a good book overall. The was good, character introductions, plot extraction, really good. I really liked the pacing of the book. It felt slow but really, it went quickly since the book panned out over a week. I liked how there kinda was an unstructured kind of structure as in, you could see the "before" segment where Evie had lots of film prospects ahead of her, the "after the before" where Evie's life goes into shambles and the "after" where Evie makes self revelations and the plot has been overcome and resolved. I thought it was well done and that's really thanks to the pacing aspect.
I'm a sucker when it comes to books with celebrity characters. It's my thing and I'm obsessed with it even though I know it's a slippery slope that could very quickly go downhill. I was a little wary about this trope in this book for those reasons, but in reality, I shouldn't have worried. Evie was a flawed character who's character development could be seen throughout the novel as she discovered more about herself and who she was as a person and an actress. I also loved the parts with Milo's band, Doves Have Pride and their friendliness towards Evie who was going through a rough patch with a toxic, selfish and manipulative friend. I loved seeing Evie's trust in people build up through being there for Milo and sticking by his dreams of becoming a musician.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and managed to read it in a day. It's a good one to read if you want a really engaging contemporary that you can read in one lazy afternoon.
