I thought The View Was Exhausting was just excellent. I love “Hollywood” novels even if this didn’t take place in Hollywood, and I thought it raised some interesting discussion about racism in the film industry. I was utterly captivated from start to finish! the heroine, Win Tagore, is a famous british indian actress. she is strong, determined and fights hard for what she wants. i liked her character, but i’m not going to lie that i found her hypocrite and frustating multiple times. however, this doesn’t change the fact that i was able to sympathize with her and i could understand where she's coming from – after all, being a woman of color in the industry is definitely not easy. This discourse unfolded over three Hot Topics segments, giving fans plenty of time to bemoan the onstage chaos.

if Win messed this up, she wouldn’t get a second chance, and it wasn’t unreasonable to expect that Hollywood wouldn’t take a chance on another Indian heroine for a long time after that.” The world thought Win had the perfect love story with the perfect man, passionate and devoted, always breathless, always in the honeymoon stage, stormy and on-again, off-again but still that strange, magical thing: true love. But Win had something better than that. She had a friend, and a secret.” Recommended by Taylor Jenkins Reid, billed as a hot summer read, a booktok sensation and written by a married couple which can be an interesting angle, this was flat as a pancake. Joy Behar Was Totally Lost On 'The View' As Whoopi Goldberg Tried To Make An Argument About Men And Abortion: "What Is The Point?"I didn't care for celebrities and their relationships before this book, and I cared even less afterwards The View Was Exhausting follows Hollywood upcomer Whitman ‘Win’ Tagore and Leo Milanowski’s mutually beneficial friends-with-benefits fake dating on-off relationship. They rely on each other as the big guns when things inevitably go awry in their lives and they need a boost of some good publicity. Effortlessly cool, razor-sharp and crazy fun – I couldn’t put it down’ TAYLOR JENKINS REID, author of DAISY JONES AND THE SIX The View Was Exhausting is *utterly* delightful. A glittering love story that’s also about the intersections of power, representation, fame and privilege. It’s funny and warm and gorgeously written and I’m calling it now as the beach read of the summer.” OD: Additionally, we can’t talk about chemistry without mentioning sex! We didn’t want there to be an obvious pivot between how Win and Leo treat each other during sex and how they treat each other the rest of the time; rather, it should be a natural extension of their dynamic. If a guy is really good in bed, that element of his character should still be present even when the actual sex is over.

MC: But, besides that, fake dating is just such a sexy trope — it’s one of our favorites too, and it’s really having a moment right now! It forces strangers to smash through the boundaries of personal space, it disarms many walls people might have up, it means you can ask for things you normally wouldn’t. Instead of nervously waiting for your partner to kiss you, you can just say, hey, it would probably look good if we kissed passionately right now. And, of course, in a world of oversharing, there’s something inherently sexy about two people sharing a secret.

I think we all have differing opinions on what fake dating constitutes... whatever this book was, it was not the fake dating that I've envisioned.... I think it's a lot more interesting when the pair involved in the fake dating haven't already gone the full nine yards like the only thing left is you guys just dawdling over the fact you don't have an official label... Hannah Montana did celebs fake dating better than this lmao Stream It Or Skip It: ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’ on Apple TV+, a Charming and Typically Tearjerking Adaptation of the Classic Children's Book
