Everybody's talking about Whitman 'Win' Tagore and Leo Milanowski. Their on-off romance is the greatest love story of our time.

As a woman of colour in Hollywood, Win knows she must work harder than everyone else to control her public image. Whenever she nears scandal, she calls in Leo to divert attention - and the cameras - with their earth-shattering chemistry.

Nobody needs to know it's a lie.

But the truth about their relationship isn't the only secret Leo's keeping. And, as the line between performance and reality begins to blur, can Win risk taking a chance on real love?

The View Was Exhausting is a bold, wickedly observant modern love story about truth, fame and privilege - and how we love now.
