GOODREADS SUMMARY
16-year-old Molly Dix loves her ordinary life in suburban Indiana, so when her single mother passes away, she is shocked to discover that her biological father is Brick Berlin, world famous movie star and red carpet regular.
Equally intrigued and terrified by her Hollywood lineage, Molly moves to Southern California and plunges head-first into the deep end of Beverly Hills celebrity life. Just as Molly thinks her new life and family couldn't get any stranger, she meets Brooke Berlin, her gorgeous and spoiled half-sister whom welcomes Molly to la-la land with a healthy dose of passive-aggressive "sisterly love."
Set against the backdrop of a sparkling and fashion-filled Los Angeles, this deliciously dysfunctional family soap opera will satisfy every reader looking for their next lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous beach read.
Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan are fashion writers in Los Angeles California. Their blog Go Fug Yourself draws an average of four million readers a month, and their dispatches from the front rows of Fashion Week are routinely the most-read stories on New York magazine's web site. Heather and Jessica have been called "fashion assassins" by Joan Rivers and "a viciously funny duo" by the Hollywood Reporter. Spoiled is their first novel for young adults.
REVIEW
What do you get when you mix step-sisters as different as sweet and sour with a self-absorbed movie star father in a Hollywood setting? Spoiled, of course! With a whopping dose of funny, Spoiled spins family drama upside down and inside out.
Molly and Brooke have virtually nothing in common, except their famous father, Brick. Oh my gosh, this guy is hilarious! Brick is a stereotypical air-head of an egomaniac. So, why do I like Brick so much? Because underneath it all, he cares about his daughters.
The antics that go on between Brooke and Molly are crazy! Brooke is the instigator as she tries to get Molly to move back to where she came from. Molly does her own damage as well, even siding with Brooke’s enemy to get revenge. These girls are creative.
On the exterior Brooke is mean and calculating while Molly is sweet and naïve. Dig deeper though, to understand WHY they act the way they do. Brooke has been abandoned by her mother and craves her father’s attention. She feels Molly is taking away some of that precious attention. Molly is scared because she has just lost her mother and she feels alone in the world.
Will the girls turn the corner and realize that having each other is actually a good thing? I hope you’ll read Spoiled to find out.

COVER COMMENTS
So cute! Spoiled is written with makeup – fake eyelashes, lipstick, nail polish, eye shadow. I like it and the white background is a perfect backdrop.
