Wow- this book came around and smacked me in the face! Such a trashy novel but I couldn't seem to put it down. I fell in love with all the characters and their overdone drama. The story seems to move by at a great pace and then you hit the end and it's all a clusterf***. I do wish the ending would have had a little more to it, I felt cheated. Other than the ending it proved to be an excellent, dare I say love, story. There are quite a few major characters but if your half human you will fall for the star, Cameron Paradise and her life story. She's a strong and independent woman (cliche, I know).
If I were an English major, I'd probably have my degree rescinded when I say that I also really enjoyed the book....Sure it's formulaic - impossibly gorgeous and brilliant heroine, sleazy Hollywood types, and a bad guy eventually come together in a suspenseful climax - but I get completely into it.

Jackie Collins is my closet passion. Her books are easy reads and a nice break from real life. This one did not disappoint.
Definitely not what I expected. It was superficial and crass, read like a teenager's first novel not an experienced author's. It was fast paced but I didn't its pushy attempt to be modern, or the language and context.

Jackie Collins' usual sexy, steamy, scandulous reads.
