This is a romance about two people who are very famous in their world, so I shouldn't be surprised, but it still irks me very much every time they:
- party in a five star hotel lobby,
- wear incredibly expensive clothing (the author drops names like Gucci and Burberry very casually),
- create charities to shift the press's gaze from the scandal of the romance,
- use their connections to enter prestigious schools.
They're supposed to be young and down to earth, but they clearly are not!! I hate it!!
And, like. I know it's the whole point of this book, since it *is* a book about famous people, but still! I didn't like it.
