I like a compact story but this story was just too short. By the time I finished it, I felt like I'd just gone through with it like motions. Not much in the way of character development, so I couldn't really love the characters. Lauren just couldn't decide on what to do and made an unnecessary mess of things. Still, there were parts that were incredibly funny and there were some cute moments in there too. 
 The only thing I am taking away from this book is a deeper insight into the difficult life for writers starting in their profession.
