Boy, do I have some news about other people not starring in things!

[therearewords]

The book is cutesy but basically a history version of Night Circus: cute and pretty and empty.

cute and pretty and empty

i feel like that's most of the books out right now

[therearewords]

I feel like there's an undercurrent of legit deep shit that's not approachable enough and therefore "not for the crowd" but the Top Ten Piles in book stores are definitely Vapid & Vapider.

[beaucadeau]

pretty much. and i don't think there's anything wrong with wanting ~lighter reading, i do it myself, i just think it's interesting what books get the most traction, why, how etc

[insomniachobs]

Yeah, if I was an actor I'd not sign stuff like that until I'd filmed and knew for sure I was in the thing. Shit falls through all the time lol

[yami_no_hoshi]

I would sign it to be polite if I was for sure starring in it but I don't really get asking an actor to sign a book in the first place. she didn't write it! maybe if it were the movie tie-in cover.

It gets a lot more interesting after the first bit but the whole part with the journalist was kind of useless and doesn’t really pay off.

The way that whole reveal in the end happened with just like 15 pages left was hilarious.

Jodi Picoult-itis

Isn't Evelyn supposed to be Latina? It has been awhile since I read it.

[givemesushi]

yes. It'd make more sense if she was being fancast as Celia, who is a white redhead.

[dreamdate]

that is who she was fancasted as.

[blandinavian]

Yep, I'm pretty sure her mother was Cuban.
