One word....hilarious!!!!! I would've given the book five stars, but I hated the ending. By the way, I'm totally Team Mark. Elsie is a struggling actress. Thus book follows her through her journey for independence. She lives with Mark, a hot pro baseball player that she has the hots for. Then she meets Sean, this big time rapper, and they have this great connection. I laughed from the beginning of this book and I need more!!! Can't wait for the next book!!

You clearly get what you pay for...so I got this book as a free download on the 29th, I will remove it from my Kindle today. By the beginning of chapter four I felt like I was reading a bad urban lit book (I'm not a fan of urban lit so I wasn't expecting this at all). By the middle of chapter four pages just started disappearing. Maybe I got a bad copy because pages were missing from chapter five also. I didn't check any further because it seemed rather pointless. Not sure if it was going to get any better or not.

I love this series of books. Aspiring actress Elsie Faber takes terrible jobs I while waiting for her big break. In this book she is a 'professional' focus group member. Honing her acting chops while swearing she is a heavy sweat-er, Sub- zero owner and a pizza devotee. All while suffering the disappointment of lost parts, scary hook-ups and an empty bank account.

I love trying to guess which Hollywood figures she is hinting at as the stories unfold.

Note: there are two detailed love scenes which may be too intense for some readers.

The California version of Sex In The City. It is a lighthearted story and doesn't take much effort to read. Unfortunately, because it is really just a blog of Elsie's life, it doesn't have an ending. The ending it does have pretty much sucks.

This book is like "Sex & The City" but with a struggling actress who does focus groups to support herself while she makes it in H'wood!

I like this book a lot. I like that is light and breezy. With ups and downs. It has a pinch of sex and a dash of hollywood. (Not-50-Shades-of-grey, thanks God!)
