One of the characters, an up-and-coming Hollywood actress, just outed herself and rebuked someone for calling homosexuals "degenerates." While that would be fine for something set in present day, it seems a bad, and unlikely, move in 1930's Hollywood. Instead it comes across as an Author Filibuster.

The main characters are ridiculously open about their sexuality. Considering there are still people in modern day Hollywood who are in the closet, having every character in this story openly admit their orientation, and then provide details for shock value, is sort of annoying. Even the straight characters provide too many vulgar details to be believable.

Also, this book has way too much talk of bodily functions. I thought I was reading a romance, but half of it has been humor that wouldn't be out of place in a Scary Movie or Tom Green movie. It's really distracting and kind of kills off any sexy mood that had been set up.

I like the romance parts, but Violet can get annoying when she's talking to Hollywood people.

Enjoying it so far. There have been two incidents now where characters interact with now-famous people, and I fear the book will be filled with name-drops and Forrest Gump type occurrences where they constantly meet/influence real life people from the era.
