"Sex, ambition, whoring, back-stabbing, failure, victory Hollywood. Am I reading the National Enquirer or what?! If only this novel were as entertaining." This tale of three women's struggles to make it big in Hollywood is no winner, according to our booksellers. "It's a fun read, but not a must read." "Fluffy, average, Hollywood-type stuff."
