Cute, smart, flirty romance novel. Holly James grabbed one from the headlines with her reality show driven theme in this novel.
Olivia doesn’t like the spotlight. Raised by her grandmother after her parents died in an auto accident, Olivia knows that being in the spotlight isn’t always good. After all, she is the love child of a former movie star and Hollywood businessman.
Chuck, her on again/off again boyfriend, is an actor. Living way above his means, for now he’s nothing more than a B list actor, recently fired from a film. He won’t talk about it, and for Olivia that’s one more thing that drives her nuts about him. But not in a good way.
After their latest make-up, once again they fight. This time it ends up on the street where all can see, and apparently do. For next thing you know, they are a viral video. Which leads them to a reality TV show worth a lot of money. But there’s a catch. There’s always a catch, and neither of them knows if they can make it through to the end.
This novel was just so much fun. Relevant and wild. But also has its deep moments of introspection. Liv & Chuck are adorable, and clearly mad for each other, and also mad at one another. Since it’s a romance novel, we all know, or at least hope, how it will turn out. There are going to be quite a few obstacles in the way on this one.
Loved it. Whizzed through it. Recommend it for a fun, refreshing read.
