I really enjoyed this novel. The description really sold me because it seemed like it would be fun. I really liked Gracie's character. I felt like she was very real and dealt with a lot of important issues. It's funny because even though this is a romance novel (which heck yes, I did love Sam), I really liked Gracie and Fangli's relationship more. They were so supportive and understanding of one another and it's a good reminder that friendship can be the best thing. But like I said, also really loved Sam. Who hasn't imagined a celebrity falling in love with them? Haha. It was interesting to watch their relationship grow. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the miscommunication in the last 15% of the book. It sort of just slowed the momentum of the book for me.
