Every week they arrive in Los Angeles??beautiful and talented young hopefuls who dream of becoming stars. It's all Margaret Frobisher has ever wanted??and when she's discovered by a powerful agent, she can barely believe her luck. She's more than ready to escape her snobby private school and conservative Pasadena family for a chance to light up the silver screen.

The competition is fierce at Olympus Studios and Margaret??now Margo??is chasing her Hollywood dreams alongside girls like Gabby Preston, who at 16 is already a grizzled show-biz veteran caught between the studio and the ravenous ambition of her ruthless mother, and sultry Amanda Farraday, who seems to have it all??ambition, glamour . . . and dirty secrets. Missing from the pack is Diana Chesterfield, the beautiful actress who mysteriously disappeared, and there are whispers that Diana's boyfriend??Margo's new co-star??may have had something to do with it. Margo quickly learns that fame comes with a price, and that nothing is what it seems.   

Set in Old Hollywood, Starstruck follows the lives of three teen girls as they live, love, and claw their way to the top in a world where being a star is all that matters.

So I would have loved this book, had it lived up to its dust jacket. I thought this would be a mystery set in pre world war 2.... Not so much. However if you take that away, it's a decent read with some likable characters. Not a horrible read. :) ( )

Set in 1930s HollyWood. Three teenage girls hope to break into the movies and all the glamour that goes with it.

Fans of The Luxe series, The Bright Young Things series, and Cinders and Sapphires will enjoy this novel. ( )
