A tale as old as time - two young kids that have to wait a lifetime for their love to be fulfilled. The writing, although juvenile, will speak to many readers and the love story between Maiko and Adrian will leave you enchanted. Pick it up as a sweet little read in between heavier tales - it’ll definitely do the trick!

Elissa R Sloan is an auto read author for me & Double Exposure did not disappoint. I loved these main characters & their stories. I was rooting for them the entire novel. I particularly enjoy how Sloan’s novels touch on the difficulty women had in the entertainment business in the late 90’s and early-mid 2000’s.

A romance for the ages - Maiko Fox and Adrian Hightower's story spans years as Sloan takes us through the very beginning of their careers until they are the most talked about couple in the world. Drawing from pop culture stories, brands and movies, Sloan paints a romantic and exciting story that truly isn't too different then an everyday couple. If you like romance, excitement and want to live vicariously through the famous, Double Exposure is for you!

Está entretenido el libro, pero no me gustó como se desarrolló la historia

Maiko una famosa modela que se convirtió en actriz y Adrian un actor protagonizaron una película, se volvieron novios y Madrian se convierto en la pareja de momento. Pero ocurrieron cosas que terminaron por separarlos y durante años sus caminos se encontraron.

Mi problema fue que a pesar de estar con sus respectivas parejas no eran felices y cuando se veían se seguían sientiendo atraídos, ¿para qué estar casi una década con alguien con quien te falta algo?

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 Powerful, raw, and masterfully written, Double Exposure beautifully follows the highs and lows of Maiko and Adrian’s A-list relationship. The rise of their relationship parallels their hot uptick in their careers, leaving them both to question how far the threshold is before they burn out. The depth of the characters is so vivid and beautifully written. The storyline over these two over the years pops off of the pages and it truly feels like you are watching their experience play out on the big screen. An absolutely stunning read from start to finish!

This book is everything - romantic, steamy and nostalgic at the same time. The story of a former star couple that tries to come to terms with who they have become is an insightful and fascinating one.

Elissa Sloan has written a winner with Double Exposure. Thai book is a gripping love story in which the characters have to decide if they are better together or apart.

This is such an entertaining read! I love Hollywood stories and Elissa has definitely become a go to author for them. There are some trigger warnings in this book but they are sensitively handled.

I really enjoyed Sloan's previous book, so I was extremely excited when I had the opportunity to read and review her next - DOUBLE EXPOSURE. Let me first say, I loved the concept. I loved the idea and the setting/timeframe. The 2000's! Hollywood! Romance! Drama! But for some reason I just did not connect to Maiko and Adrian as much as I wanted. I think that this was because there were wonderfully short chapters that moved too quickly. I felt that scenes would end abruptly and I never got the chance to really fall deep into Maiko's headspace. They quickly met and started dating...way too quickly for me. I longed to see things be a bit more slow burn.

Despite this I'm excited to try another book by Elissa R. Sloan. I just wish this one had been for me.

DNF due to the trigger warnings. Apologies - I should have researched that before requesting this book for review.

I wasn’t too sure if I would like the Hollywood celebrity scene but I did enjoy it! I often struggled staying hooked but it is a fast easy read. Forewarning for trigger warnings of abortion, miscarriage, & infertility. Thank you NetGalley for this copy!

This was…fine. Not bad by any means, but nothing remarkable. I love second-chance romances and the Hollywood setting, so that was nice, but something about this just didn’t hook me. It was a very fast read though, and I always like when books include epistolary elements.

Thanks to William Morrow Books and NetGalley for the digital ARC, all opinions are my own.

“Double Exposure” was absolutely a milkshake read for me. It went down quick and easy. But it’s more than meets the eye and tackles some difficult subject matter.

At the outset, “Double Exposure” appears to be a frothy beach read about celebrities who date in the early 2000s and follows their journey together over the years. From the first page, Sloan makes it clear that she isn’t afraid to broach the tough stuff. (Several trigger warnings here, so tread lightly, readers.) I truly became absorbed in the story quickly, needing to know what else could possibly happen between Maiko and Adrian. There was always so much more going on than met the public eye.

One aspect I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did was the challenge of actors intermingling their personal lives and their professional lives. How does that impact how they show up on set? How do the complicated feelings and histories make a scene even better? Or more challenging to film? I’m not typically interested in celebrities and tabloids, though this part of the story made me rethink my stance and added depth.

Many thanks to Elissa R. Sloan, William Morrow, and NetGalley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. It’s always a pleasure.

I adored this book. It's not like I was super attached to the characters, but I loved following them through the years. I didn't fel transported into the story and yet I loved reading about our main characters. Important topics were touched upon, but not delved into deeply. This was an enjoyable read

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a cute rom com about a celebrity couple and their ups and downs. Both characters are likable and have relatable qualities even with their celebrity status.

It’s an emotional rollercoaster with lots of drama. Their relationship wasn’t always easy and they were often on again off again. It’s a quick read with multiple POV’s.

A great pool read for summer! This novel was easy breezy to read (even if it touches on some dark themes). I enjoyed reading about the fictional celebrity couple Maiko Fox and Adrian Hightower — collectively know by the portmanteau "Madrian" — as the novel follows the ups and downs of their on-again/off-again relationship over the years. As with her previous novels, Elissa R. Sloan is clearly using "Madrian" as a proxy for famous celebrity couples like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, J. Lo and Ben Affleck, etc. etc. While the novel's written in third-person, the perspectives alternate between Maiko and Adrian's POVs. That kept the plot moving nicely! Both characters are definitely flawed — and I was absolutely infuriated by many of Maiko's dating decisions (spoiler: She chooses to stay in an abusive relationship far too long, even when the writing's clearly on the wall for the reader to see.) But the book is nicely paced — I wanted to root for Madrian, and I enjoyed the "interstitials" that featured faux-tabloid articles and online chat excerpts.

This digital ARC was obtainable via NetGalley for an honest review.

Wow. I feel like I just got off an emotional roller coaster. Where do I even start? "Double Exposure" is basically a fly-on-the-wall account of Hollywood's favorite fictional couple, Maiko and Adrian. Think Jennifer Lopez and one of her relationships or maybe Angelina Jolie and Brad or whatever. I don't know, think something of that nature to pick up what I'm putting down.

This book was so addicting. I felt like I was binging episodes of "Gossip Girl". Usually, I can't deal with all this drama. I avoid books like this but somehow, I kept coming back for more. Sloan writes in a way that makes you want to continue watching the trainwreck happen. "Double Exposure" does touch on some hard topics that could be triggering for some readers so proceed with caution. Our main characters Maiko and Adrian did have chemistry but the things that were going on between them were not healthy at all. Everything and almost everyone in this story was just yikes. This book gave me major anxiety, but I can't say I wasn't entertained.

How do star opposite of someone you have so much history with, your greatest love, when your husband is currently producing the movie? I enjoyed the complexity and believability of DOUBLE EXPOSURE. It felt less like a love story and more about exploring a complicated and emotional relationship between once young lovers, now Hollywood peers, Maiko and Adrian. It was nice to see how these two characters evolve individually and when they are together over time of several years.... seeing how their relationship shifts throughout each other's biggest successes and lowest lows and the effects of their decisions, especially when fame is thrown in the mix. I felt for both Maiko and Adrain and was invested in watching their story unfold.

Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Double Exposure by Elissa R. Sloan was such an entertaining read. It's gritty, heartbreaking and romantic. I read this in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. I loved that it wasn't a lighthearted romance where everyone is perfect and everyone is good. It shows the toxicity of relationships in such a realistic way. The writing kept me reading and I wanted more of it. The characters felt very much like real people. If you're interested in celebrities and all that, I think this book is right for you. I will definitely be recommending it.

Double Exposure, by Elissa R. Sloan, is a novel that is gritty and glamorous, but also heartbreaking and romantic. Kudos to the cover designer, who managed to convey that, while this book is about a couple, it's not all flowers and champagne. There is a toxic edge to Maiko and Adrian's relationship, and to their fame. I absolutely devoured Double Exposure. Highly recommend!!
