This book was a quick and fun read! The whole mystery behind Gigi’s disappearance makes for an engaging storyline, but there wasn’t really anything that made me absolutely fall in love with it. I really liked the end, but Evie was a hard character to love in the beginning of the book for me, which might’ve been the reason for my hesitancy about this book.
The message of accepting yourself and ignoring what others think of you translates well to readers, despite the protagonist being a celebrity and dealing with issues many average people wouldn’t have to. The romance between Evie and Milo is sweet and adds a little bit more to this YA book about figuring your life out, but I was hoping for a bit more swoon-worthy scenes. Instead, it was a lot of Milo being super sweet and kind and Evie forcing herself not to accept his help and then accepting it anyway. However, I still liked their little romance and how it paralleled Gigi’s first romance movie.
​ While I enjoyed this book and think it’s a great YA story, it just felt like it was missing that one thing to fully take it over the edge. That being said, I would still recommend this book to others and would definitely check out more of Forest’s books in the future.
