Saw the Mature tag a wee bit late and was surprised at the smut in this novel. Not that I'm complaining. Halfway through and will probably add more to this review once I finish the whole thing.

The pacing of the story is fairly fast. ML didn't really waste time and was ambiguous towards the MC almost immediately. With MC's comeback being a nude stand-in, it was easy for ML to take advantage of the situation. I mean, seriously. Imagine this: Art film was about a gay couple in the 40s... more>> (I think) and there were a lot of s*x involved. I imagine the whole thing was an awkward time for MC as the whole thing was mechanical in a sense that it's a performance being recorded by a room full of people. Not to say he didn't enjoy the make-out sessions during the filming. I think MC didn't mind those too much.

Again, pacing is fairly fast. MC finds out quite quickly about how ML feels about him and, much to the credit of the story, at least that didn't feel forced. It's not a very complicated read but I do feel a little bit irritated at the author's tendency to explain the plot of the movie, describe a scene in detail, AND have the characters act out the scene with all the written descriptions being repeated again. Kinda redundant and takes me out just coz it annoyed me to no end. <<less
