Project Mulberry

I just started reading Project Mulberry.  I read the first chapter and I was liking it.  It seemed like a quick read and I felt like it was going to be interesting.  Then (and sorry if I ruin anything for people who haven't started) there was a section where the character, Julia, was having a conversation with the author about the ideas and stories behind the book.  As of right now I am not liking that.  I read the first one and decided that for the rest of the book I am going to skip them.  I feel like it takes you out of the story and it makes you realize you are reading a story.  It makes it hard to get into it when you are constantly being reminded that this is a story and isn't real.  I don't know if anyone agrees with me or feels otherwise.  I would love to hear what others think.
