This book was a very light and fast read. Not completely shallow, but not as deep as it should have been. If Lisa Rinna wasn't famous,I know this book would never have been produced. I never really connected with the characters and too many emotional issues were rushed through. The only parts that were intense were intense sex parts .It actually would have been better if it were longer, especially the end, which wrapped things up way to abruptly. Voila, forgiven, HEA. Pam Anderson's book was a lot better, not that every famous person who writes a book should be compared. Oh, and my usual complaint applies - it's absolutely not worth $25 for what's really a novella, with large print and lots of white space in a book that's already skinny. Get it from the library, but don't buy it. "Starlit" by Lisa Rinna is the perfect book for people who find the complicated plot twists and complex character development in the novels of Jackie Collins too taxing for their reading pleasure.Three friends wend their way through Hollywood, starting with their acting classes and waitressing jobs. They meet stars and agents and soon they are all discovered for different reasons. Our heroine, Tally Jones, gets her big break, takes up with a jerk, finds a nice guy, loses nice guy because of backstabbing co-workers, but eventually ends up the nice guy, the golden guy (Oscar), and the golden life. One friend marries into power and one discovers power in porn.The book is actually short but entertaining. You do want to see what happens so you keep turning the pages. I did miss the great descriptions that Jackie Collins writes, but I was still had fun reading this book. A really great read for the beach.
What do You think about Starlit: A Novel (2010)?
Enjoyably trashy. It was fun to hate Susie, and to yell at Tally.

A shallow beach read that I liked just for that reason.
