About the author

There have been many imitators, but only Jackie Collins can tell you what really goes on in the fastest lane of all. From Beverly Hills bedrooms to a raunchy prowl along the streets of Hollywood; from glittering rock parties and concerts to stretch limos and the mansions of power brokers-Jackie Collins chronicles the real truth from the inside looking out.

Jackie Collins has been called a "raunchy moralist" by the late director Louis Malle and "Hollywood's own Marcel Proust" by Vanity Fair magazine. With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with some 30 New York Times bestsellers to her credit, Jackie Collins is one of the world's top-selling novelists. She is known for giving her readers an unrivalled insider's knowledge of Hollywood and the glamorous lives and loves of the rich, famous, and infamous. "I write about real people in disguise," she says. "If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre."

Jackie Collins died of breast cancer Saturday, September 19, 2015. Jackie Collins, who had kept her illness secret, said recently that she believed in an afterlife, that she had no regrets and that she had emulated Frank Sinatra in that “I did it my way.”

[Joan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my favorite Jackie Collins book.

[Once Upon a Page]

Dnf 41% too much telling for me and I wasn’t comfortable with the child rape/ prostitution

[Mel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Kind of a smutty book that didn't age well. Lots of racism, sexual assault, misogyny and child abuse.

[Susie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Is, was, and always will be my favorite book of all time !! I can't even count the number of times I've read it... it has to be well over 100. Gino Santangelo is the bad boy all the girl love and Lucky is the beautiful bitch we all want to be! Highly recommend !!
