📖 My Thoughts

She is a singer-songwriter with a serious case of writer's block, and always persecuted by the paparazzi for misunderstandings. He is a documentary filmmaker tasked with rehabilitating her image by showing the side of her that no one sees.

When he is interviewing her for her documentary, he slowly starts falling in love with her. It takes her a while, but she finally gets there. At first, I thought the story looked a little too close to TS but as the story progressed, the author took me along to care for the characters.When the story concluded, I was left wanting for more. One of the side characters has such a personality that you want to know more about her. Overall, it was a great narrative of what happens behind the scenes of famous people; in the end, they are just people. I loved the wrapping up very much, the screening scene had me tearing up a little.
