If she had just asked some simple questions, much of the drama of this book could have been avoided. Did Emma ever hear the saying, 'don't assume, it makes an ass out of 'u' and 'me''? I think not.

The whole story is a wishy-washy back and forth between Reid and Graham and Emma just can't make up her mind?!?!?!?! ::wails::ģ) The miscommunications. Made popular by Twilight, the love triangle rears its ugly head in this book. At least he wasn't homophobic or racist, he had that going for him.Ģ) The love triangle. It was sometimes laughable how much I hated Reid. Yet we are stuck reading from his ignoramus point of view for half of the story. He is spoiled, obnoxious, self-aggrandizing, rude, and just the kind of male character that I love to hate. I kind of want to give props to the author for having the guts to write a character that is such an unabashed douche. When I first started reading this book, I thought Reid was going to be this bad boy that got reformed by the goody-goody girl. And, honestly, it probably deserves 1 star.ġ) We are stuck inside the brain of a huge jackass. I was convinced that I was going to 1 star it for much of the story. I am a bit shocked that I ended up liking this book at all in the end. Graham has no problem keeping a handle on the situation, until he finds himself attracted to Reid's costar, Emma, the girl Reid is pursuing full-throttle with his standard arsenal of charm, good looks and arrogance. Besides, his friend Brooke Cameron snatched up the role of the bitchy hot girl and could use his help as a buffer, because her ex is the star. Indie actor Graham Douglas isn't overly picky when it comes to film roles. The Problem? Emma is experiencing a building desire to be normal, and starring in a silly, modernized adaptation of one of her favorite novels - opposite the very hot Reid Alexander - isn't going to advance that aspiration. Nailing the lead role in a wide-release film sent her agent, father and stepmother into raptures, and should have done the same for her.

The universe is lining up nicely to grant whatever he wants, as usual, until he's confronted with unexpected obstacles on location - like a bitter ex-girlfriend and a rival for the first girl to spark his genuine interest in years.Įmma Pierce just got her big break after more than a decade of filming commercials for grape juice, department stores and tampons, and more recently, bit parts in made-for-TV movies. His costar is a virtual unknown with whom he had blazing hot chemistry during her auitions. When Hollywood It Boy, Reid Alexander, arrives on location, his intentions are simple: film another blockbuster hit while enjoying his celebrity status to the fullest while doing so.
