I knew this book was bad romance when I was more interested in the lives of the "Popstar Live" contestants than in the romance between Jules and Sam. To me, there was no chemistry between the hero and heroine. We were told, rather than shown, that they liked each other. It's billed as zany but there's a fine line between "zany" and "oh please". This book crossed that line on .. oh .. about page 10. Good premise, just too much other stuff going on.

This was a light, easy, and entertaining read about a woman named Jules, who gets in over her head at her new job. The characters are wacky, hilarious, and balancing right on the edge of believable and mouth-dropping-open unbelievable. Definitely great if you're looking for a few laughs!

I really liked this book. It made me think of the "real American Idol" in a different way. I kept comparing the people in the book to the people on the show. It was a really fun read.

Excellent novel. Comical and serious, all at the same time. I am going to find more books by this author for sure!

I liked this book. It isn't romantic but is funny and different to other chick-lit books because this one is about a reality show. Jules is so funny. I want to read more books of this author.
