They start casually dating, and Zach makes her feel like anything is possible. Like the stars have finally realigned themselves in her favour. Best of all, her writer's block has disappeared. The only issue is Zach isn't just some hot guy with a dream anymore. Now he's a movie star with billboards and PR people and fans and paparazzi ... and even though they're dating in secret, Zoe soon finds herself splashed all over the press. Now everyone seems to know her name. But the problem with everyone knowing your name is that everyone knows your name ... including the stalker who's obsessed with Zach.
