It was an interesting look into Hollywood the week before the Oscars. In fact the central character is Lola who is Hollywood royalty (her father is a big time director) without being anyone in her own right. Even my reading carries over into the entertainment world.
The thing about this book that I found so amusing was that everyone was the next someone: The next Nicole Kidman, the next Cameron Diaz. Even the movies were the remakes of old classics or sequels to movies that we have all seen and never wanted a sequel to come about (Days of Thunder anyone?). Even in an issue of Entertainment Weekly last month the cover was about the "next Hollywood A-List". You know questions like who is the next Julia Roberts or Meg Ryan?
All of this got me to thinking (I know right); if everyone now is the next someone than the next generation will be what? The next, next someone? So confusing.
Anyway, read the book. It was a fun, easy read and perfect for a day at the beach (or pool for those of you who are landlocked). Also, I cannot imagine that some of the more bizarre actress characteristics were not based on someone we all know and maybe love. Sometimes even a good imagination cannot come up with this stuff.
