I liked this book. The third part was my favorite. If you are considering reading this book I recommend you check out the book trailer on youtube too. It made me want to read it that much more.

I tried. I really, really tried. I wanted to love this book so much. Even though the premise is something that either works or doesn’t. I thought it was still be interesting. I was wrong. So, so wrong. I’m slapping this on my DNF bookshelf and won’t be going back to it again.
There are several observations and issues I noted while reading this book. I’ve decided I’m just going to list them out.
- There is no chemistry
- The messages back and forth don't contain anything that would suggest long lasting attraction. They literally ask how many kids they have each and ages, then bam in a relationship. The scenario is completely unbelievable for a celeb or any normal person.
- Believing he's a celebrity is hard. Reasons being it would take them lot to trust. But people in general would need more info.*Most parents bond over kids or stories of their day. This story brings in none of that. Considering one reason I clicked on this was because she was "single mom of two" it doesn't seem in the beginning other than a mention here and there, she's actually a mom.
- The pix in the message convo? NO Too fake. Too cheesy.
- The messages themselves? Well they mostly consist of "good morning ____" and 'goodnight ____". Boring, uneventful and zero reasons they should be "missing each other"
- The lack of knowledge from the h about the H considering she's a fan. (I just clicked out of this and don’t remember their names. This is mostly because “Part 1” only contains their screen names on some mysterious social media site.)
- Part 1 - messages lasts 34% of the book. Way too long and boring.
- We have no idea what he’s a famous actor for, something to do with TV I think.
- Confusing as the H asks if "he's what she's expecting" when they see each other for the first time. Uh he's a celeb and she's his fan, how would she not know what he looks like?
- For a single mom she lacks common sense. She doesn't tell anyone that she's going out to spend the weekend with him. If you have kids, how irresponsible is that?
- It bothered me that he used his real name and not a pseudo name. If he's famous this would be a-using his real name would be too much of a chance at getting mobbed by fans. Especially if he's a major attraction at a con. This makes no sense. Doesn't seem as if any of the scenarios in the book were actually thought out.
- Their attraction to each other is confusing as there is no chemistry, no mutual interests, there’s really nothing to lead up to them being attracted to each other.
- She trusts enough to spend a weekend with him, give him her address, but not exchange phone numbers? Ummmmm ok.
There is also the writing style. The flow doesn’t work well. While the transitions in time are ok and easy to follow, the way it’s worded is not good. (I thought I was being harsh so I read a passage to a book bestie. She assured me it wasn’t just me.) It’s not hard to follow per say, but rather written in a monotone, simplistic way.
My suggestion to this author would be is find some willing ARC readers and ask for their opinions/reviews. Find a good beta reader and ask for suggestions. The story itself had potential. The grammar was good, but there were several run on sentences that would have been easily caught by a beta reader/editor. If this book was rewritten, I would say that it would be something I would try reading again. Until then, the best thing about this book is the cover.
If you’re looking for a good social media romance try #Starstruck by Sariah Wilson or Cinder and Ella by Kelly Oram. I give it 1.5 stars because of potential, good grammar and a great cover.
