Lacey Barnes has dreamed of being an actress for as long as she can remember. So when she gets the opportunity to star in a movie alongside one of Hollywood’s hottest actors, she doesn’t hesitate to accept the part.But Lacey quickly learns that life in the spotlight isn’t as picture-perfect as she imagined. She’s having trouble bonding with her costars, her father has hired the definition of a choir boy, Donavan Lake, to tutor her, and somewhere along the way she’s lost her acting mojo. And just when it seems like things couldn’t get any worse, it looks like someone on set is deliberately trying to sabotage her. As Lacey’s world spins out of control, it feels like the only person she can count on—whether it’s helping her try to unravel the mystery of who is out to get her or snap her out of her acting funk—is Donavan. But what she doesn’t count on is this straight-laced boy becoming another distraction.With her entire future riding on this movie, Lacey knows she can’t afford to get sidetracked by a crush. But for the first time in her life, Lacey wonders if it’s true that the best stories really do happen when you go off-script.

MY THOUGHTS⇣
If I summed this book up in one word, it would be AWKWARD. It felt like it was fumbling about and basically came off as nonserious & sorta campy, just like the zombie movie she was making within the story. Everything about it, for me, was awkward. From the romance...to each and every character...to the flimsy mystery. It was not what I was expecting from a Kasie West Novel. I've read a couple of others by her and enjoyed them...despite not being the target audience for her books.
Even the narration was awkward...because I usually like Caitlin Kelly. I can't help but feel that her interpretation of these characters was similar to mine because it felt like she adjusted her voice accordingly for her portrayal of them.
