70s peak Sheldon writing a different type of story.

Our main protagonists are Toby and Jill, two run of the mill folks coming from humble beginnings giving it a go trying to make it in Hollywood. Toby makes it first and becomes and asshole the more popular he gets. Jill struggles longer, and when she does make it is so embittered at all the bad shit she endured to get there she's out to bust balls and have her revenge. Then these two damaged people meet and start a relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

If you like Sheldon, you'll dig this one. ( )

The story held my attention, even though I didn't particularly like the characters. This could only happen with a skilled writer like Sheldon, because why else waste time reading about people you couldn't care less about.

I didn't care that Toby found out fame wasn't all it's cracked up to be (just ask any star) and I didn't care about wronged Jill plotting her revenge (as if she were the only victim of casting couch and other assorted perverts) and I didn't care that they suffered tragic fates, but I read the whole book anyway.

didnt keep up[ the start - fizzled at the ending. ( )

I liked this book when I first read it but my tastes have so changed since that time that I'm sure I'd rate it closer to 2.5. ( )
