Who Would Like This Book:
If you love celebrity fauxmance stories with real emotional depth, this book totally delivers! Rachel Spangler brings us pop star drama, Hollywood glitz, and a refreshingly honest look at what it's like to live in the spotlight. The witty, heartfelt banter and genuine chemistry between the leads make it easy to get hooked. Anyone into WLW romance, the "fake relationship" trope, or behind-the-curtain Hollywood peaks will be all-in. And, yes - the side characters are surprisingly delightful.
Who May Not Like This Book:
Some readers weren't fans of the angst levels, especially when it comes to Lila, who can be a bit of an emotional fortress. If guarded, frustrating characters bug you, or if you're not into slow-burn tension with communication hurdles, you might get impatient. Also, if books that borrow celebrity vibes (one of the leads will definitely remind you of a certain real-life superstar) aren’t your thing, this might pull you out of the story a little.

From The Publisher:
From a young age, Cobie Galloway made a career of playing the girl-next-door on the silver screen. Only, she's not a teenager anymore. Ready to challenge herself artistically and earn the part she's always dreamed of, she's forced to face the realization that in order to win the roles afforded to edgier actresses, she might first have to audition by playing someone edgier in her day-to-day life.
Pop star Lila Wilder built a multimedia empire by always having her finger on the pulse of what's hot. However, as she struggles to produce her next smash hit record, she's finding it hard to keep her name in the public eye, and a string of tumultuous relationships with Hollywood boy-toys no longer captivates anyone's attention.
Both women tentatively agree to a headline-grabbing fauxmance, with two simple rules: Always stick to the script, and never forget that on the stage of public perception, nothing is real. Can two women find love in a world of carefully crafted illusions, or will a successful charade mean the potential for something more gets left on the cutting-room floor?
