Introducing Vivien Leigh Reid: Daughter of the Diva

Reader reviewed by Rach

Viven Leigh Reid is a funny teenage girl who we all can relate to... except for the fact that she has a movie star mother. I would love to go away during summer to watch people act, and visit her Superstar mother. But, Viven is dreading it, she dosen't like hanging out with her mom at all! Well, this book was lots of fun to read and it was very enjoying. I give it 5 stars! I think it would be a great movie, and that everyone would love it!

Leigh is sent off to Ireland for the summer to spend the summer with her actress mother, Annika Anderson, where her mother is currently starring in the upcoming film Danny Boy, and where she is expected to have "mother-daughter bonding time" while being her mother's personal assistant. Leigh excepts to spend her time there being bored, but Sean, her mother's twenty-one-year-old, and hot, co-star, and her bit part in the movie make the summer a little more interesting. But Annika doesn't want to share the spotlight with her newbie, unexperienced daughter, and tension gets even higher between them. Annika and Leigh have to learn to separate the actor sides of themselves from their roles as mother and daughter. This book, though it emphasizes mother-daughter relationships, is far from cheesy, and teaches good life lessons while still entertaining.
