Although the characters were very nuanced, for some reason I still felt a large disconnect from them. I also hated how both the MC's dealt with their fake dating deal. Neither of them communicated with each other and instead resorted to sex to communicate their feelings, which of course made things even more confusing for the both of them, and muddled the waters. Also, I can understand why Chloe started panicking and lashing out, but damn was she an asshole. I don't know how an adult can think that that was a reasonable way to treat someone. And Clementine continuously accepting how Chloe treated her when she lashed out instead of having a mature conversation and setting up boundaries got on my nerves. The fact that she never spoke her mind about her feelings for Chloe or about how hurt she was just made the entire situation worse. 

I also really disliked Clementines best friends. They felt almost like mean girls who weren't aware they were being mean, and the way they treated her after she broke up with her boyfriend just rubbed me the wrong way. 

I think the only characters I truly liked were Chloe's friend group. Even though they were side characters, I was more invested in their opinions about things than the main characters sometimes. 

On the other hand, one thing I truly appreciated about the book was the witty and unique writing style, which perfectly conveyed to the reader what it's like inside Clementines mind, especially when she overthinks. I liked how the writing put into perspective her rumination with the run-on sentences. 

Overall, I'm not sure I would enthusiastically recommend this book to readers, due to my opinions about the main characters relationship and dynamic. Although, this is actually my first book in the Out in Hollywood series, so I'm hoping I like the first two books more.
