I didn't take a bath until 2 am this morning and now I'll probably be sleeping with wet hair (it's so freaking hot here in the Philippines, just saying) just so I could finish this book and if that doesn't show how much I loved this book, then I don't what will.What I loved and I'm sure people will love about Behind the Scenes:1.) Imperfect but authentic characters. Ally may have annoyed the heck out of me but I couldn't find it in myself to hate her because I got where she was coming from. Ally...

Hey, guys! Just wanna make sure you know that no matter what it looks like on Amazon, BN.com, or any other retail site, if you order a US paperback, they will ship you one with the old cover. If you want a US paperback with the new cover, the only place to get it is by contacting me for it directly. I'm sorry for anyone who's been inconvenienced!

My review: I loved every single one of these imperfect characters, even the ones who I loved to hate. Behind the Scenes takes you exactly there – behind the scenes of a TV production. Readers will experience the glamorous and not so glamorous life through Ally Duncan, the BtS’s main character who watches her best friend Vanessa land the lead role in TV’s hottest new teen drama. There, Ally meets Liam, Vanessa’s hot co-star, and eventually has an amazing first kiss. But life is never simple, and

This book was every bit as comical and beautiful and sweet AND DOPE as I'd hoped. (And I mean, is anyone ELSE feeling this inadequate?) But again: the humor. Can we talk about the fucking humor??! So good! NEED more YA/NA/books period with serious injections of funny. And the book's authenticity. Jesus. Spot on. AND where do I get a Liam Holloway of my own? Because that boy is one seriously swoony motherfucker. And I'm mad excited for what's coming next because I am officially a member of Josh C...

3.5 starsI really liked the MC in this one, except for one really, really, REALLY stupid thing. It was stupid.This was a quick, cute read with realistic feeling characters - I enjoyed it.oh, and Liam is dreamy ;)

I had Dahlia on the blog last month and, as you can see, we're kind of friends. And I've been stalking patiently waiting for her book to come out since the deal was announced because, really, how much does this sound like a ME book? SO MUCH. But other books came up (and I was too lazy to pull it from the bottom of my pile) until finally it was time.I spent the first half of this book smiling while my heart hurt because Ally and Liam were so SAD. They were so cute together but it was so hard to b...

Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestDNF @ 24%I find that I have a love-hate relationship with Adler's work. Sometimes I love her books, other times... not so much. It's a shame, because I think she really tries to tackle relevant issues teens actually have to deal with-- things like taking care of younger siblings, dealing with sick or dying parents, living paycheck to paycheck, coming out and/or dealing with everything that comes along with that-- and considering how much

*3.5 stars* "Why the hell do you do all this stuff if you hate it? Is it, like, in The Rules of Being Attractive that you must become an actor-slash-model?"He smiled slowly, my heart melting just a tiny bit with each new millimeter. "Does that mean you think I'm attractive?" Ugh. I'm still not sure what to rate this. I can't decide whether to give this 3 or 4 solid stars, but 3.5 seems right. This book wasn't what I was expecting, but I also don't know what I was expecting. Hm. I am so odd-I

I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning to finish this book and I'm so satisfied it feels like my veins are full of champagne bubbles. Does that make sense? I DON'T CARE. Liam Holloway is my new jam.

February is such a slow month for me. This is my third book and it's not bad at all, actually it was good. All you need to know:I love how Adler writes her female characters. I'm planning to make a short important review about that. I'm looking at you Last Will and Testament.It's so hard to find a Liam in fiction and much more in real life.Overall: For someone who haven't finish a book in a while, I genuinely enjoyed Behind the Scenes. Chapter twenty also made me cry.

So, you know how you sometimes go, "Gosh, I'm in the mood to read something fun and sweet and OK, please throw a little sexy in there too. I like sexy. Who doesn't like sexy? Oh, and I'd prefer the MC to be smart and smart-alecky and someone who's believably flawed, doesn't behave perfectly 100% of the time, but you still can't help rooting for her..." Yeah, well *this* is that book. The book your eyes are glued to on your commute and you LOL and don't care who's staring at you because the story...

27/9 - I'm surprised by how much of a good time I had reading this YA romance. I've previously read and and enjoyed both of them (although I did learn after finishing Out on Good Behaviour that it depicted the pansexual main character poorly, something that would have lowered my rating if I had known while I was reading), but I was a little nervous of how I would go with YA Adler vs NA Adler. The writing was on par with her previous books and Ally's voice seemed authentic to an older t...

Do you know my name? It's Vanessa. The synopsis says there's someone with that name, so that's why I'm gonna read this.Just kidding.Actually, it sounds interesting, and also the sequel to this book gets released this year, and my Twitter feed is infected with things about that book, so I couldn't help but feel a little curious.

You know, if I had to describe this book in five words, they would be a breath of fresh air.It's fluffy, it's light, and it feels pretty damn good. I already knew Dahlia Adler could do no wrong since our priorities are pretty much the same (macarons, if you were wondering) and I'd read Last Will and Testament before, but DAMN. Behind the Scenes was good. Really, really good.Yes, sometimes I wanted to slap Ally because she was just too good, and at times I wanted to hit Liam and tell him to get h...

I'm a sucker for celebrity-regular people romances, and was really excited to read BEHIND THE SECENS. While it's not my favorite of the category, I liked it nonetheless. I enjoyed watching the beginning of Liam and Ally's relationship. I liked their banter, and could definitely see a connection between them. It was fun watching their relationship develop, especially as they began to open up to each other. I also loved the friendship between Ally and Vanessa, as well as the book's commentary on t...

Dahlia's book is SO FREAKING FRESH. Her characters are flawed and hilarious and smart and incredibly developed--don't let the Hollywood plot fool you. This story has depth and grit and heart by the tons. She's written a book that I will read again and again, anytime I want to laugh and cringe and smile. So great. Also, #liamsabs

4.5 stars

Holy shizz, this book. You know how some books make you swoon and cry and yell at the characters and at the end you have this goofy smile on your face and just want to hug the book and never let go? That’s this book. BEHIND THE SCENES is at the same time the incredibly swoony and delicious love story every girl wished she could experience/could have experienced as a teenager—falling for the gorgeous famous guy everyone has pictures of in their lockers and having him fall for you even harder—and

I've only read two Dahlia Adler books so far, but I feel like there are certain things you can expect from her work:1. a main character who is flawed but still a good person2. a swoony romance with a bit of extra sizzle3. diversity4. witty dialogue that makes you giggle (and wish you'd said that)5. fast-paced prose that propels you through the story at a pace where you don't want to put down the bookThat right there is pretty much a recipe for awesome when it comes to my reading choices, and BEH...
