Eliza is obsessed with celebrities, she realizes that she has no life, and decides to give up celebrities in order to get her happily ever after. Some other things happen, but none of it is really that important, or interesting. This is a fast read, there is nothing complicated here. It wasn't the best book ever, but I didn't expect it to be. ( ) Typical of the chick lit genre. Borderline forgettable, some cute graphics, mild attempt at social commentary ("Celebreholism") and an attempt to go cold turkey from said problem. I'm embarassed to say that two days after finishing it I cannot remember the name of any of the characters. Still, the pages turned and I was distracted as I read it. What more can I ask for light entertainment. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"My name is Eliza H., and I am a celebraholic." So begins this cautionary tale of how celebraholism can ruin one's life-- or at least one's twenties. Once, Eliza dreamed of walking down the aisle (at the Oscars) and having a meaningful existence (every minute of which would be chronicled byPeople magazine). But by her twenties, her soaring ambitions have been reduced to friendships with two people who have some small chance at fame: Danny, a gorgeous and sadly untalented actor, and the unscrupulous Dinah, who has no attribute she will not exploit. Oh, and not to mention a lot ofE! True Hollywood StoriesandThe National Enquirer. But when her boyfriend dumps her because she has no life, Eliza resolves to try to kick her celebraholism once and for all. Consulting a sham shrink and going cold turkey onPeople, Eliza seems to be on the rough road to recovery when the unexpected happens: Dinah's boyfriend, white rapper Lylo, is involved in a hit-and-run accident that claims the life of a beloved citizen-- bringing Dinah tantalizingly close to fame...and jail. Can Eliza get Danny his big break as a cute but expendable sidekick in action flicks? Will she save Dinah from taking the fall? Or will this finally be the opportunity for the Barbara Walters interview she's waited for her whole life? Hip, humorous, and self-aware, this sublimely witty novel parodies today's cult of celebrity with hilarity and sympathy. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
