Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Bookluver-Carol

Mallory is a teenage girl living in L.A. and her mother is the oftnominated, never-winning star of a daytime soap; she is, in fact, the ultimate drama queen. After yet another blow-out about her mothers awful plotlines and overacting, Mallory starts blogging about how she wishes soap operas were more like real kids lives instead of the ridiculous storylines the shows usually feature.
When her mothers agent reads the blog, Mallory ends up in her own whirlwind drama, both at school and on the lot, as she works to protect the integrity of her original idea, cope with her mothers jealousy, and get her best friend a lead role on the show. Factor in her boyfriend with the girlfriend, the cute but bad brother to said-best-friend, and the super-cute male lead on her show, and Mallorys got plenty of her own melodrama to cope with.

I liked this book. It was good. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad.There wasn't much depth to Mallory's character. She grew up in a world full of soap operas and you would think she would hate soap operas but she doesn't. It was a short fun read. The plot was unique and it was better than most books that are set in Hollywood. Look for the sequel in October, 2008.
