Format:Mass Market Paperback
It had been a while since I had read an SEP and I eagerly awaited this UK release - why does it take so long?
I did enjoy it and prompted me to re-read a couple of my favourites.
I like Georgie she was warm throughout her trials and tribulations and again with SEP I liked the parent child dynamic with her father.
Bramwell was hot and arrogant enough to be entertaining and pages kept turning as I drifted off down the malibu beach literally 1000's of miles away from my world.
Yet I kept getting distracted by the whole hollywood couple Brangelina Aniston triangle parallels. I sometimes fell off the page and disconnected with the storylines. In the same way the stretched plotlines although comical again jarred a bit.
The interplay between the two central characters was pure SEP and gave me pleasure. I did get caught up enough to finish the book in two sittings with enough cross over references to make me feel warm, fuzzy and nostalgic for novels fondly remembered .
I liked the spin off relationships with Chaz and Aaron, Paul and Laura. What I always enjoy is how each of the other characters relate to the main protagonists. The way they interact, show care for each other, endears them to us all the more and through them we invest. SEP does this so well and this book is no exception.
Its no 'Natural Born Charmer' but its SEP and the pages kept turning, well worth a look.

Like other reviewers the first time I read this the whole Brangelina/Honey Moon similarities meant I didn't really get into the book or charactors on first read.
However on reading again recently while it didn't grab me like Stars or some other SEP books did from the first page, after a couple of chapters I found myself warming to the characters and enjoying the humourous dialogue.
The charactors and sub charactors entertained and left me wanting more by the end as is usual with SEP.
So while I wouldn't say it is the best SEP book it is by no means bad it's just that SEP spoilt us with previous titles. I would recommend new readers start with the stars series rather than this one.

Fake or real?
I enjoyed this book overall with its focus on the lives of two famous actors and how their every move is followed by the paparazzi. Read more

OK
Big fan of SEP but parts of this book were similar to an older novel of hers "Honey Moon". It was also obvious that Georgie was based on Jennifer Anniston! Read more

I am a big fan of SEP, and have read all her books. This one did not do it for me though; the main characters were not sympathetic at all, quite cold actually and in some parts the... Read more
