Amanda is heartbroken. She's tried, but she can't get over her breakup with hotshot writer Harry Gordon. If only she could talk to him, she could convince him that their love story is bigger than any screenplay. But Amanda isn't the only one in Hollywood keeping a secret—Harry's got one too.

Margo has to pinch herself: there's talk of her getting an Oscar nom for her first film role, and she's living with the Dane Forrest, the gorgeous movie star millions—including herself—swoon over. But if the public finds out about their domestic arrangement, her career will be over. The studio has a plan to fix it all . . . but is Margo prepared to pay the price?

Gabby's drinking is out of control, but who cares? She's bored and depressed. She needs someone who will treat her like the woman she is beneath the silly stage costumes and pigtails. And she's sure unpredictable musician Eddie Sharp is The One. But playing with bad boys like Eddie isn't for little girls. . . .


Again a book I have mixed feelings about. After reading the synopsis I expected it a little to be like the Pretty Young Things or the Flappers series, as it is set in quite the same time period, only now Hollywood instead of NYC. Maybe it is because I haven't read the first book in this series, but sometimes you start reading a book that you just can't get fully into. This was one of those for me. . The main characters in this story weren't appealing to me at all. They all seemed extremely gullible and made bad decisions over and over. Gabby was probably the worst at this. I enjoy flawed characters just as much as anybody, however with these characters it was hard to find one redeeming quality about them. I found it hard to connect with them or even enjoy the book, as it was told through these daft characters point of view's. Most of the characters where heavy into doing drinking and drugs. This could have been a much better read if the characters showed some character and sense, and the plot was a bit more interesting then just the Hollywood showbizz world the girls want to get into, and if it would focus more on the romance part.
