Olivia Goldsmith does the world of Hollywood well, and this book is no exception. She takes three young women, two new to Hollywood and one child of stars, and follows their trip to and through Hollywood. The book is fun to read in spots, but in others it dragged awfully for me. The last 50 pages I was gasping for the end. But I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Goldsmith OR Hollywood fiction. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Mary Jane Moran is an out-of-work actress. She should have been a star. A brilliant off-Broadway success, she was too fat, too plain and - at 34 - too old for Hollywood. To cap it all, Tinseltown has also stolen the only man she ever loved. Mary Jane Moran is ready for revenge. Two years, 40 pounds and $67,000 worth of plastic surgery later, she gets it in the person of Jahne Moore - thin, drop-dead gorgeous and soon to be the hottest property in Hollywood. Buy Mary Jane finds that dazzling beauty and meteoric success bring problems of their own... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden.

It was bad enough that you needed a score card to remember all the character's in this dreck book, but the whining of the main character's got me to the point that I had hoped they had all had something terrible happen to them.
Poor them-they are lovely, they are popular, they are making million's - my heart bleeds. Yes they have no privacy, but choosing this career path was, as I said-a choice.
To make matters for me worse, I went to amazon while still on my Kindle to read the reviews to see if anyone thought the same as I did -and one of the reviewers ruined a VERY important plot point.
The book does seem to pick up at the 75%, but by then I was skimming for good parts and it really got interesting at the end. However, it was mostly ruined by Jahnes' whining (love that spelling *rolling my eyes*good grief)
Stay far, far away even though it only costs $2.99 on Kindle and on Nook! ( )
