Hollywood Ending

Written by Tash Skilton

Narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Michael Crouch

ONE PERFECT FRIENDSHIP—ABRUPTLY CANCELED
All through college, Nina and Sebastian were sentence-finishing, secret-sharing BFFs, and absolute super fans of Castles of Rust and Bone. It was the kind of show—and the kind of friendship—that demands you’re all in, for the plot twists,
the unresolved sexual tension, the weekly coup d’etat—and ultimately, the heartbreak.

At Least Until the Big Cliffhanger …
But when Castles’ season finale turned into the unceremoniously axed show’s awkward farewell, Nina and Sebastian’s friendship ended just as suddenly—and just as awkwardly. And Sebastian’s longed-for chance to woo Nina into something
more than friendship was written out of their story.

In Hollywood, There’s Always a Comeback.
Five years later, Nina and Sebastian are living their best lives in L.A.—and Castles is being rebooted. Nina’s a social media coordinator for the streaming service that will air the show, and Sebastian is a PA for the production company. What could
be more perfect? How about running into each other on set … ?

Fingers Crossed for a Happy Ending …
Turns out even the most dedicated fans are due for a wake-up call when they get to peek behind the scenes. And suddenly Nina and Sebastian are remembering when they were super fans of each other instead. Will flipping the script from
buddy comedy to real romance ruin everything—or deliver the happily-ever-after they both crave?

Reviews for Hollywood Ending

[abshepherd · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was really hard to like both the main characters at first and I'm not really sure they got all that much better, but I think we were supposed to become sympathetic. Overall, I liked the book, but the ending was pretty abrupt - ending 2 pages after the protagonists finally get together.

A fun read and a great romance. The characters were well fleshed out, at least the ones that were meant to be 3D. The shallow ones were convincingly portrayed!

i wasn't sure i was going to make it through this book when i started. paige carson, the protagonist, starts as a bratty, spoiled, selfish, childish hollywood star. the book definitely dragged for me in the hollywood setting. once she ends up in london and meets ed, maddy, fizz & a few others, the book definitely improved for me. her character did evolve, as much as can be done in a chick-lit book, and yes, it's a predictable happy ending but it wasn't so terrible after all.

Perfect mindless chick-lit/beach/weekend book.As in all chick lit, the girl-guy get together in the end and everything is just like "real life" - perfect!Paige Carson is a famous Julia Roberts type character. Life is not all roses, and she flies to London to "act" in Shakespeare play and meets landlord Ed, a documentary film producer with morals. Guess what happens?

I thoroughly enjoyed the latest confection from Robyn Sisman, half of which takes place in Hollywood, half in London. Sisman does a great job capturing the culture of each place and creates a lovable character in Paige, an unabashed yet innocent diva. She meets her match in Ed, a crusty intellectual who has a thing or two to learn about love; and the breathless plot, involving movies, malicious reporters and a Shakespeare play staged in a crumbling theater, keeps things moving along nicely. I thought this was one of Sisman's better offerings.
