Book eighty-seven: How to Sleep with a Movie Star

How to Sleep with a Movie Star (2007)
Kristin Harmel


Rating: 2.5/5

This is very much in the “classic” style of contemporary romance: nice guy, lots of misunderstandings, evil co-workers, cheating boyfriends, no declaration before the last page etc. But I still really enjoyed it.

It was interesting to read about the workings of the magazine industry – and I thought it was cute how the chapters are named like an article.

It did suffer slightly from back of book spoilage, but even if we hadn’t been told, it would have been pretty obvious that the boyfriend was an idiot.

You're sitting in a swanky restaurant interviewing one of the world's most gorgeous movie stars. He's being very, very friendly. Flirtatious, even.

What do you do?

Would you: Get serious - Slide your number across the table and begin to play footsie with him; Get up and leave - You're a highly professional young journalist, and a celebrity fling is the last thing on your mind; or, Get confused - Why would such an adored (and adorable) man be interested in you? Even if he is the nicest, most down-to-earth guy you've ever met!

When Claire's glitzy job puts her in exactly this position, she's not sure what the right answer is. But then she discovers that nothing - and no-one - is ever what they first seem.
