Publisher's summary

Rebecca

My life has been a whirlwind of heartbreak, beginning with the death of my brother when I was 18-years-old. He was my best friend. I worked through my grief by writing a book about his life and that book was turned into a movie.

That's when I met him. Jensen Boliver, the movie's director.

He's younger than me, controlling, and infuriating.

For four years, I've denied my attraction to him because every time he shows an ounce of compassion, he takes it away and I refuse to beg for mere crumbs of kindness, no matter how attracted to him I am.

Now we're in Hawaii for our friends' wedding. The hotel has lost my reservation...and Jensen shows up with a solution.

"You can stay in my suite."

Jensen

I grew up fat in fatphobic Hollywood. All my life I was told to hate myself and my body.

Then I met her. Rebecca Taylor. She's beautiful, intense, and makes me feel things I've convinced myself I didn't deserve. So, for four years, I let her believe I hated her. I don't. I never did. How could I when she’s everything I’ve ever wanted? Despite my hesitation, our attraction to each other has grown, and last year, we both caved. She let me have a taste, but the timing still wasn’t right. Now we're in Hawaii and sharing my suite, there’s no way this trip ends without her being mine.

Rebecca and Jensen are first introduced in Beyond the Bright Lights. While you don't have to listen to that book to enjoy this one, it is highly recommended. Beyond the Fame ends with a happily ever after.

This book has adult themes and deals with difficult topics including fatphobia, bullying, terminal illness (cancer), loss of a sibling, loss of partner, loss of a parent (off page/mentioned), grief, attempted suicide (off page) and suicidal thoughts, addiction and alcoholism, depression, parental abuse (mental), grief, graphic sex.

Everything about this was SO GOOD

First off, Settle is such a talented writer! The story is well paced, emotional, and rich in details. I absolutely recommend Beyond the Bright Lights as well!

As for the narration/acting, this book is incredibly well done! The duel narration really enriches the story and it genuinely feels like watching a movie. Absolutely loved this audiobook!

Great Duet Narration!

This was such a good steamy Hollywood romance with 2 fat characters! I also love the tough topics discussed- grief and addiction.
