Grey Brooks and Ethan Atkins don't really like each other, but they need each other. She's a newly-canned former teen drama starlet looking to stay relevant and sell the movie she and her best friend have been working on. He's a mostly-retired former teen drama star who would rather be left alone, but needs to become relevant once again to sell the movie he and his best friend were working on before his untimely death. A brief press relationship it is! But the more time the two spend together, the more they come to like each other - when press, paparazzi, and addiction threaten their relationship, is there enough to keep them together?

This was a 3.5 star read I've rounded up to 4 in other places - it's angst city, baby, and the kind that many people love but gives me heartburn because I'm a softy.

In general, it was so well-written and pretty tightly plotted. I loved Grey and Ethan both, even if I didn't quite agree with their reasons for not wanting to actually date. I think my biggest issue was that I would have liked the dark moment to have occurred a bit earlier.

I think it would have been useful to have one event that they attend together that doesn't necessarily challenge his sobriety but does prove his commitment, but that's just me!

Overall, people who love a celeb romance are going to have a great time with this - I can't wait to see what this author writes next.
