این کتاب رو دوست داشتم! دلم نمی‌خواد فقط چون ژانرش عاشقانه‌ی نوجوانانست بهش کم محلی کنم… به نظرم کتاب فوق‌العاده‌ای بود که هر دختر جوونی باید بخونه تا بتونه دید بهتری به نوع رابطه‌ای که توش هست داشته باشه! به نظر من کتابیه که توی ژانر خودش موفقه! خالا شاید شما از رمان‌های تینجری خوشتون نیاد ولی خب به نظرم چیزی از ارزش‌های این کتاب کم نمی‌کنه! :))
درکل اگه دلتون k-dramaی آمریکایی می‌خواد می‌تونم این کتاب رو بهتون پیشنهاد کنم!

The good ones put your character to the flame and burn away all the rest of the shit until you come out a better you. She’s one of the good ones.
I thought I would really this book, but after a while I found myself thinking how this book is extremely predictable. Love the concept and everything but WOW everything was so fucking predictable. It was definitely angsty and at times heartwarming and it definitely showed how being a celebrity can be hard and tiring through the perspectives of Oakley Ford. I liked Vaughn, a normal teenage girl who has to deal with signing a contract to be the fake girlfriend of Oakley Ford, but I didn’t connect with her at all. Although, I really do love Paisley, Ty and twins.
The last part I could kind of see coming,. Yes, it was a fun and an amusing read with so much drama going on from left, right and centre. Overall, I don’t know, maybe I’m not a huge fan of contemporary novels or maybe this book was really hyped up and I thought I’d like it, but it wasn’t really for me.

I knew that Oakley wouldn’t have broken up with her through a message but his publicist Claudia and Jim were behind it. I had a feeling that it was Claudia thoughjcoff's review against another edition

Pure fluff and stuff. Erin Watt is the best for light YA reading.

I feel like a terrible human only giving this 2 stars - but since I don't know how to give 2.5 it'll have to do.
I enjoyed this, but as my friend Kat said, I wish it had been better. Although there was so much that was right with this book.
The long and long of it, I thought this was a sweet story and it made me nostalgic for young uncomplicated relationships- the kind when love conquers all and its not messy or unkind. And with the exception of the whole rockstar aspect it did seem plausible.
Although the final plot twist - you know the one with the thing and the thing - see no spoilers- was kind of pointless and also felt a little bit bunny boiler-ish and by that I mean psycho.

This was so sweet!
I wasn't sure of this book at first. I wondered if maybe this would be too YA for me- and there were a couple of times in the beginning that I thought that might happen. But, I wound up really enjoying this!
I tend to enjoy the fake-relationship-ends-up-real story line and this one worked so well. I thought the authors did a great job with Oakley- he really changed and grew throughout the book. I loved getting his POV, too. He stole the show for me. I liked Vaughn, but felt like her character needed more rounding out- especially toward the end.
This is a great read for when you are craving something sweeter and lighter. Also, I highly recommend the audio version- I thought the narration was excellent!

If you know me, you know I’m a sucker for angsty, dramatic romance. The more suspenseful, the more dramatic, the better. This one satisfied that love at least slightly and I really enjoyed it. Oakley, a pop star bad boy, really ended up growing on me throughout the book and his character development. Vaughn was a really relatable and likable character the entire book. Who doesn’t love the idea of a normal girl being asked (and paid big time) to date a celebrity? It was so much fun to watch the two of them attempt to fight off falling in love and all the drama that ensued. Only giving this one four stars because of the ending. There is a lot of built-up drama with a relatively huge revelation that has almost no resolution in the end. Other than that, it was an amazing read!

I normally don’t enjoy books that go back and forth between narrations, but this one was good.
