DEBUT Emmy Ellison has a huge crush on Jason Connor, one of the leading members of the TV show Lost Star Dance Troupe Saves the Universe. So much so, that she wrote the book #CelebrityCrush, with the main character inspired by Jason. When the book starts climbing the bestseller list and the movie is optioned, Jason is picked for the leading role, and the two go on a combination book and movie promotional tour. With every social media post, Emmy’s book sales rise even higher, so in an effort to keep the momentum going and to clean up Jason’s bad boy image, the two hatch a plan to fake date. When one sultry night in a jacuzzi is captured on film, the plot only thickens for the main characters in real life. With prose interspersed with vlog scripts, tweets, texts, podcasts, and celebrity talk show scripts, this book is full of Hollywood glamour that soap opera fans and romance readers alike will flock towards.
VERDICT Set against a Hollywood backdrop, readers will enjoy Swift’s fun and glitzy debut novel filled with just enough twists to keep them guessing.
