The book's synopsis looked interesting, and there was a waiting list to get a copy of it, so I guess I was expecting more. To me, it was simply a rom-com about a wannabe rom-com writer and a rom-com actor. It was an easy read because it didn't have any meat to the story. I didn't hate it, but I'd never want to read it a second time and feel it's my duty to inform others that it's "not all that".
