SECRETS OF MY

HOLLYWOOD LIFE

By:  Jen Calonita

FIRST SENTENCE

“I’m going to let you in on a little HOLLYWOOD SECRET: Movie stars

don’t always get along.”

SUMMARY
from goodreads

Every girl in America wants to be Kaitlin Burke -- except Kaitlin Burke. She longs for a life far away from the glitterati and the paparazzi and those nosy tabloid newsmen. Giving up full-time glamour, she goes undercover at an ordinary American high school. The lessons that she learns in the world beyond the red carpet bring her wisdom worth more than any Emmy.

REVIEW

So, you think the life of a famous teen actress is a dream come true?  Think again.  For Kaitlin Burke, living that dream is great, but all she really wants is to try out life as a typical teen. 

Kaitlin is one sneaky girl.  She manages to fool an entire school when she enrolls as Rachel Rogers – a British transfer student. Seeing that she could pull this off, it was no wonder that she was a famous actress.  She could win an Academy Award for the party scene!

One of the things that I really loved was that Kaitlin still kept her personality when she was Rachel.  She stayed true to herself.  Jen Calonita did a great job of melding both girls into one.

The cast of supporting characters was very entertaining.  There’s Liz (best friend and partner in being sneaky), Sky Mackenzie (scheming co-star), Austin (cute boy at school), and Kaitlin’s mom (overpowering and bossy).

Cute and fun, I recommend this book to anyone who wants a glimpse into the Hollywood lifestyle.
