Summary (from Goodreads):
When seventeen-year-old Paige Townsen gets plucked from obscurity to star in the movie adaptation of a blockbuster book series, her life changes practically overnight. Within a month, Paige has traded the quiet streets of her hometown for a bustling movie set on the shores of Maui, and she is spending quality time with her costar Rainer Devon, one of People's Sexiest Men Alive. But when troubled star Jordan Wilder lands the role of the other point in the movie's famous love triangle, Paige's crazy new life begins to resemble her character's.
In this coming-of-age romance inspired by the kind of celeb hookups that get clever nicknames and a million page views, Paige must figure out who she is -- and who she wants -- while the whole world watches.

Review:
OK, Rebecca Serle, you are freaking brilliant. I just need to get that out of the way because Holy Moses, this story was awesome. The premise, the cast, the settings … FAMOUS IN LOVE was like getting a tantalizing glimpse of the life behind the tabloids and every single thing about it was just sheer perfection.
Does it sound like I’m fangirling a bit here? Because I am.
GAH! It’s been weeks since I read this gem of a book and I am still having a hard time expressing just why I love it so hard.
This is a fun book. A guilty pleasure, stay up late and miss work kind of book. It’s not overly heavy or dramatic despite it being set in the glitzy yet troubling world of teenage Hollywood, but this book is pure entertainment. Maybe because it’s a little bit like fantasy fulfillment. Don’t tell me you never imagine being plucked from obscurity and thrust into the spotlight where you meet an amazingly hot guy (or two)!
It’s just us girls (and guys?) here. You can tell me…
Look, FAMOUS IN LOVE is a feel-good book with extremely likeable characters. Paige is a great narrator and I actually loved that she was torn between these two guys. I can assure you the ending isn’t what you expect, but before you go freaking out like I did, there’s another book coming.
If it’s half as good as this one? Then I’ll love it, and so will you.
Okay, maybe this is what I need to read next. I've been on a SciFi kick and the last book in the series I was reading was very war-filled (HEA in the end but lots of death and war to get there).
ReplyDeleteI need books like this in my life Hannah! Ones that are pure entertainment and fun. I've been reading too many dark, gritty reads lately, so I'm ready for something a little less emotionally trying:)
ReplyDeleteI'm up for fun! I'm glad you like it :)
