3.5 stars. 
 What could've been potentially a fantastic story reduced to a cheap love square. 
 Damon Atwood, is re-entering the limelight, after a decade of holing up in Scotland. After winning an Oscar at thirteen, and his mother dying - his life spiralled out of control until he emancipated himself from his father. Damon Atwood, I feel, is heavily modelled on Macaulay Culkin. Sure Culkin never won an Oscar, but everything else is similar to what Damon experienced. Hell, he's even referenced in the book! How more obvious can it be? 
 Rose, is an assistant choreographer also shy of the limelight. I really enjoyed 80% of the book (5 star material) because despite the petty love square being introduced, I liked that Rose and Damon were unwavering towards each other, despite multiple misunderstandings *rolls eyes* I appreciated how Alicia and Blake started out in the novel, but as it went on, they just became stereotypes of the people wanting to split the main couple up. 
 80% in and Damon flips out because of something Blake said, clearly high off his horse. 
 It was the straw that broke the camel's back. 
 Suddenly the love square was taking precedent, the petty drama, the backstage gossip....it completely eclipsed the story, that my reading went pa-pa-phut. 
 And it never recovered. 
 Having read the first 4/5 in a few hours, it took me a further 2 days to limp to the end. 
 I think I like Penny Reid and LH Cosway individually, but when they work together, the magic is more apparent to me. Will still keep reading them individually though! :) 
 Note: Rose is obsessed with the audio version of Outlander. Why? I haven't read it, but maybe someone can tell me *winks*
