***INTERVIEW***
Well, I’m into romance books, like The Fault In Our Stars and Anna And the French Kiss, so I guess just by reading the summary.
Étienne.
A little bit, but the cover doesn’t really matter to me because it’s about the story under it.
Rainer because of the triple S standard: sweet, sexy, and smart.
{How cute is that?!?}

The romantic story of a girl who gets plucked from obscurity to star in the next major feature film franchise based on a book and the ensuing love triangles she gets entangled in on—-and off screen.
Meet Paige Townsen, Rainer Devon, and Jordan Wilder…
When Paige Townsen, a young unknown, gets cast in the movie adaptation of a blockbuster book series, her life changes practically overnight. Within a month, Paige has traded the quiet streets of her hometown for a crowded movie set on the shores of Maui, and is spending quality time with her co-star Rainer Devon, one of People’s Sexiest Men Alive. But when troubled star Jordan Wilder lands the role of the other point in the movie’s famous love triangle, Paige’s crazy new life gets even crazier.
In this coming-of-age romance inspired by the kind of celeb hookups that get clever nicknames and a million page views, Paige must figure out who she is – and who she wants – while the whole world watches.
The 411:
Famous in Love is about a love triangle that starts off with a girl named Paige Townsen. She loves to act, so she tries out for this upcoming blockbuster hit called Locked, and she gets the part. The movie is with two swoony famous actors named Jordan Wilder and Rainer Devon. They both love her, so she going to have to make so pretty big decisions.
What I Loved:
I liked the whole book, but here are some of the things I loved about it. I liked where the book was set, and just how swoony the boys were. Really feeling the process of filming was interesting to me, and I liked that, too.
Um…Not So Much:
I can’t really think of anything on the spot. I liked it all.
The Girls:
Paige Townsen. I like her personality, and I like the fact that she optimistic.
The Boys:
Rainer Devon. I like how he has some edge but you could feel safe with him.
Jordan Wilder. Jordan he has danger written all over him–I love it.
Dream Cast:
When I think of Rainer, I think of Josh Dallas, and when I think of Jordan Wilder I think of Max Carver.
Josh Dallas as “Rainer Devon”
Max Carver as “Jorden Wilder”
What I Think Will Happen Next:
I didn’t know this was a series when I read it, but I am pretty glad that there will be more. I think one of their ex-girlfriends will come back. I can’t wait to read it!
