The View Was Exhausting
批評家のレビュー
"An absolutely stellar debut with tension that crackles and prose that sings, The View Was Exhausting is the complex, Hollywood love story we've all been waiting for. Clements and Datta have crafted a book that's as heartfelt and earnest as it is sharp and surprising - I couldn't get enough." (Emily Henry, New York Times best-selling author of Beach Read)
"Married couple Clements and Datta use a playful trope to confront weighty issues in their excellent debut, a romance that's as timely as it is heartfelt. Readers will come for the swoon-worthy romance and stay for the beautiful prose." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"The View Was Exhausting sweeps you up into the tilt-a-whirl of Hollywood relationships. This richly drawn romance is, crucially, also a journey through the unjust rules forced upon women - especially women of color - who dare to play the fame game. It's timely, touching, and a tantalizing love story." (Jessica Morgan & Heather Cocks, best-selling authors of The Royal We and The Heir Affair)
あらすじ・解説
Daisy Jones and the Six meets Crazy Rich Asians in this swoon-worthy novel of a famous actress embroiled in a fake tabloid romance, confronting the challenges of being a woman of color in Hollywood - and the notion that she might actually be in love.
“A pure delight! Effortlessly cool, razor sharp, and crazy fun - I couldn’t put it down.” (Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times best-selling authors of Daisy Jones & the Six)
"The complex, Hollywood love story we've all been waiting for - I couldn't get enough." (Emily Henry, New York Times best-selling author of Beach Read)
Faking a love story is a whole lot easier than being in love....
The world can see that international A-list actress Whitman ("Win") Tagore and jet-setting playboy Leo Milanowski are made for each other. Their kisses start Twitter trends, and their fights break the internet. From red carpet appearances to Met Gala mishaps, their on-again, off-again romance has titillated the public and the press for almost a decade. But it's all a lie.
As a woman of color, Win knows the Hollywood deck is stacked against her, so she's perfected the art of controlling her public persona. Whenever she nears scandal, she calls in Leo, with his endearingly reckless attitude, for a staged date. Each public display of affection shifts the headlines back in Win's favor, and Leo uses the good press to draw attention away from his dysfunctional family.
Pretending to be in a passionate romance is one thing, but Win knows that a real relationship would lead to nothing but trouble. So instead they settle for friendship, with a side of sky-rocketing chemistry. Except this time, on the French Riviera, something is off. A shocking secret in Leo's past sets Win's personal and professional lives on a catastrophic collision course. Behind the scenes of their yacht-trips and PDA, the world's favorite couple is at each other's throats. Now they must finally confront the many truths and lies of their relationship, and Win is forced to consider what is more important: a rising career, or a risky shot at real love?
The View Was Exhausting is a funny, wickedly observant modern love story set against the backdrop of exotic locales and the realities of being a woman of color in a world run by men.
