Trade Review
A pure delight! Effortlessly cool, razor sharp and crazy fun - I couldn't put it down. It is Notting Hill for 2021, an absolute crowd pleaser -- Taylor Jenkins Reid
Escapist, suspenseful, razor sharp and very unusual. I loved the chemistry between the two protagonists and flew through the book because I was dying to know what happens -- Frances Cha
A glamorous power ride through fame, misogyny and racism, with a swoony romance -- Julie Cohen
An absolutely stellar debut with tension that crackles and prose that sings... the complex, Hollywood love story we've all been waiting for -- Emily Henry
Deft, funny and tender, The View Was Exhausting is as smart as it is swoon-worthy - this is exactly the book you should be reading right now -- Julia Armfield
A glittering, swoon-worthy love story that's also about the intersections of power, representation, fame and privilege. It's funny and warm and gorgeously written and I'm calling it now as the beach read of the summer or, if we're all stuck inside, the escapist read of the summer, because reading this I was totally swept away -- Jane Healey
A book to read in the sun with a glass of wine and nothing else to do all day. Fun, sexy and totally gripping -- Laura Kay
A sexy, scorching treat - fresh and ultra modern, I devoured it -- Victoria Gosling
A refreshingly modern love story that explores everything from truth and privilege to love and insecurities... a must-read book of the summer * Culturefly *
Delicious... A dazzling mix of glitzy Hollywood, torrid gossip and dreamy romance - and also delivers a cutting critique of power, celebrity and privilege -- Hazel Barkworth
