Review
“You made me realize I’m capable of picking up my life again.”
Stories about broken people tend to draw me in. It feels more realistic than a perfect, flawless person. It could be because, on some level, I can relate to it. It also could be because a kindred spirit recognizes a kindred spirit situation.
A person’s past can impact their present/future more than they would realize. Michael being a rockstar, is beyond my reach, but rockstars are people too. Even though their life is out in the spotlight, they have feelings and are the same as everyone else. He hates the media. It was worse after a tragic accident that changed his life. He went into hiding, evading interviews and doing his best not to be caught in public. However, being a celebrity, especially from a young age, makes people more curious about your life. Allison is trying to get her dream job, but to do that, she must catch a big story for her application. She’s a journalist with a famous mother, but instead of using those connections to get what she wants, she got there on her own. Allison understands where Michael comes from because growing up in the limelight is difficult. Allison is a fixer. She always chooses broken people and tries to fix them. And it never works out for her. But once you’re in a familiar pattern, it’s not easy to break because that’s what you’re comfortable with. Enter Michael; he’s broken, and Allison deserves better than him. But you can’t choose who you love, can you?
The only problem I had was how it was continually pointed out that Michael was a bad person, or at least bad for her, which was why she was attracted to him. People base their opinion of Michael not being a good person on secondhand information rather than getting to know him personally. And yet, somehow, Charlie is a good and sweet person. Allison questions why she couldn’t be attracted to Charlie instead of Michael because he would’ve been better for her. However, based on my opinion, Charlie is far from sweet. His actions say he’s more of an a-hole than anything. But somehow, his actions are justified as him being a good person. However, the ones that are considered a-holes are the ones that are sweet under their hard exterior. That is why the saying, ‘never judge a person by their cover,’ exists.
There was a point where it was so emotional that I cried, which I wasn’t expecting, but it was a pleasant surprise because that’s a good indicator that I enjoyed Interviewing Michael. Or, at the very least, it was a part that I could relate to.
I’m glad this is only the first book in the Siel series, and there will be more. Interviewing Michael was the first time I read something from Desiree Span, and I can’t wait to read more from her.
