I can honestly say there isn't really anything I have enjoyed about Fameyou. Not only is the sentence structure and the grammar embarrassingly horrific but the main characters Olivia and Luke have no depth or substance.

"I click on the last page he had opened. It's his Instagram account. I don't know much about his Hollywood life. I go through the photos he posted. There's close to a thousand photos on his page. Most of them are places he visited. He likes to travel, I can tell. He has millions I can honestly say there isn't really anything I have enjoyed about Fameyou. Not only is the sentence structure and the grammar embarrassingly horrific but the main characters Olivia and Luke have no depth or substance.

"I click on the last page he had opened. It's his Instagram account. I don't know much about his Hollywood life. I go through the photos he posted. There's close to a thousand photos on his page. Most of them are places he visited. He likes to travel, I can tell. He has millions of followers. I take it that Luke has a lot of fans out there."

The aforementioned paragraph is how my elementary daughter writes, with short, choppy sentences that lack detail and description.

The premise of the story is banal and as I continued to read I was constantly trying to figure out what the author wants to convey to her readers. The book begins with Olivia sobbing on a street corner, oppressed, and mourning her deceased husband, she's pregnant and all alone when Luke's mother Katherine finds her. Katherine immediately takes Olivia in and they become an instant family even though Olivia's in-laws are still very much a part of her life and are proud grandparents of her unborn child (Savannah). It really just doesn't make any sense that Olivia would choose to make a home for her and her daughter with a stranger when her deceased husband's parents are willing to be a family to Olivia and Savannah. A couple of years later Katherine develops Alzheimer's and Olivia becomes her caretaker.

After Luke's father dies he becomes estranged from his mother. But seven years later he drops in on her to find her ill with dementia and Olivia living with his mother as her caretaker. Luke grew up in Hollywood and as an only child was spoiled and lived the Hollywood life as his father was a famous screenwriter. However, his mother grew up in the Midwest and that is where she met Olivia, Katherine leaves her son and California behind to return to her life in the midwest. Luke has no interest in living in the small town his mother grew up in and the place they visited every summer when he was a kid, but seven years after his father's death he drops in unannounced to visit his mother who has no idea who her son is. Initially Luke and Olivia don't like each other, however, since he is a gorgeous movie star and she happens to be a gorgeous caretaker...yeah, you hear about and see gorgeous caretakers all of the time (eye roll, here), they fall in love with each other. There aren't really any obstacles to keep them apart, yet the author just seems to come up with some ridiculous ones. If I didn't know the age of the characters I would guess they were in middle school, instead of adulthood. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone for any reason at all. The story is boring and there's no point in it, so I guess there's no point in reading it either.

Olivia met her soulmate at 13, married him after graduation, and was widowed at 19. She was taken in by Katherine shortly after her breakdown at the cemetery and was like a mother to her. She didn’t realize that the woman was rich and it didn’t matter to her.

Luke was an A-list celebrity actor returning home after being away for so long. His father was a famous screenwriter, and he hadn’t visited his mother since his death.

She was taken in by Katherine shortly after her breakdown at the cemetery and was like a mother to her. She didn’t realize that the woman was rich and it didn’t matter to her.

Luke was an A-list celebrity actor returning home after being away for so long. His father was a famous screenwriter, and he hadn’t visited his mother since his death. The night that he walked into his mother’s home, he wasn’t expecting to find a young woman there. He certainly wasn’t expecting to learn that she has been living there with her daughter and that she was caring for her mom, who had dementia. That’s not possible. Luke would’ve known that. Luke wasn’t buying Olivia’s sweet and kind-hearted act—she was a con artist. He couldn’t believe that she his mom’s power of attorney. But he will prove she’s a fake.

Luke was such a jackass to Olivia. So what if there was dust? She’s a full-time caretaker, not a maid. He was so bossy and cynical. Seriously, what was his problem?

After Luke crosses a line with Olivia, guilt sinks in with Luke for the first time. Gee, there really was a human in there. He soon realized how bad his mother’s memory was and how much they needed Olivia to calm her down. It’s true: she’s not the mom he remembered and he should’ve come around more to see her. Now it was too late…or was it?

Luke cares about his mother, and Olivia’s patience and selflessness were wonderful. Tension, regret, and remorse simmer in the house that they all must share together. In the interim, the two learn to look beyond what they initially thought. Luke sees the natural beauty (inside and out) in Olivia, and Olivia sees how sweet Luke can be, especially with his mother and her daughter.

Story was sweet and endearing. I enjoyed the friendly bond as well as the explosive physical chemistry between them.

Will he stay to be the man she loves or will he return to the empty spotlight of Hollywood?

A wonderful read!

I enjoyed the story of Olivia and Luke more than I thought I would because I do judge a book by its cover. The cover to me looks as the whole novel will be about this actor guy living the smug life in Hollywood when really it is more than that and more than a romance.
Olivia meets Luke's mother, Katherine , when she is crying at a cemetery when she is pregnant, 19, and widowed. Katherine has recently suffered the same fate and the two women intertwine their lives while, Luke continues to be a bi ...more

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is my second book of Hattie Lou that I've read. When I read the blurb I knew it was going to be good! The whole enemies to lovers drew me in!

What I liked most about the book was how strong of a woman Olivia was throughout the book. She's raising her daughter on her own while taking care of Katherine. She doesn't complain how tough her life is. She just keeps going.

Luke is an arrogant celebrity! He thinks he is a big shot with the cameras on him. He lets the fame take over his life. He ...more

I enjoyed reading this enemies to lovers book. He's a hot Hollywood actor who is a very arrogant celebrity!

While Luke is getting repairs done at his house that he shares with his "girlfriend" Erika he decides to visit his mom.

When he arrives to his mom's house, he is surprised to find out that she has a caretaker living with her. He has a strong dislike for Olivia and doesn't trust her with his mom.

He ends up mentioning Olivia's husband who passed away years earlier causing her to breakdown. H ...more

Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing.
