I had a rollercoaster of emotions from this book. Normally I read books in bulks, meaning that I don’t read it for several days, and then read 150 pages in a single day. This was different, and I read 10-30 pages every single day. I think I might like this approach better as I have more time to develop thoughts about this book.
Many would call this supermarket-literature, and I do agree to an extent. I did buy this book at the airport because I was desperate. The book looks very astehetically pleasing, it will do great in my bookshelf.
(Spoilers; though I doubt anyone of my friends will ever read this)

I belived for a moment that the author would dare the characters to remains separate, as this would make for a more nuanced ending as opposed to simply being the cliché, traditional ending. Life is not like the movies, and I applaud authors that try to incorporate that view into writing. Sarah Sprinz is not one of those people (not in this book at least). The mere thought of this possibility is what counterintuitivly raised my rating of this book. I think this could become a far more readable book with a few tweeks. The plot of a “fake” relationship to manipulate the media is an interesting social commentary on how celebrities live. It becomes a bit to predictable in my opinion (like of course they are going to fall in love for real, duh…)
