I really liked Book of the Month. It was pretty cool seeing the behind-the-scenes work of an author. I didn’t like that Aspen was so motivated by fame and recognition, though. It almost would’ve been an easier pill to swallow if she was chasing money. I do like how her quest for fame added a different dynamic to her breakup with Brick; if she was merely chasing money, she could’ve just renounced it for love and that would be that. The fact that it went deeper than money added a more nuanced layer to her grand gesture to win Brick back. I was team Brick for the entire book. I hated how awful everyone was to him and about him. It’s awful how catty the women all were. I did love the more immediate secondary characters, especially Marco. The setting was great, and I like that the author used a real place instead of a made-up small town. And I am DYING for Sierra and Kane’s story! 

I received an ARC of Book of the Month from NetGalley. I am leaving my review voluntarily.
