Actual rating: 3.5 (but I rounded it up because I'm feeling nice) 
 I thought this was a really cool concept, and very cleverly executed, but the reason I'm not giving it a full five stars is simply due to my personal taste. I'm not really a fan of romance for romance's sake, and it seemed strange that Annabelle attached more importance to her love life than to her parents' divorce or her house getting sold. Her big beef with her author wasn't that her family was breaking up; it was that she was forced into a relationship with the perfect guy (boo hoo) rather than getting to choose her brother's weird best friend. 
 So the short version is, the story was cool, but the stakes should have been higher.
