Book Review: "Secrets Of My Hollywood Life: Family Affairs"

Secrets of My Hollywood Life: Family Affairs by Jen Calonita is the third, and so far juiciest book in the series so far!

Now that the drama with working on the film Pretty Little Assassins is done and over with, Kaitlin figures that her life will finally be able to regain some normalcy, going back to Family Affair life. Only, it won't be as it was before: the show's getting a new actress. And she seems to be hellbent on destruction of all that's around her to make her own star shine.

The new girl, Alexis, starts out acting sweet-as-pie to anyone and everyone around her; trying to butter up the writing staff especially to get in their good graces, even though her story arc is only intended to last half a season. But she makes such a splash with the public on top of her charming graces with the staff of the show that they decide it might not be such a bad idea to keep her own as a potentially permanent character. Herein ensues the drama.

Sky feels that Alexis is trying to impede on their territory, and Kaitlin thinks she's just being jealous of the new girl. But the more that Kaitlin witnesses, the more she begins to see through the facade and that the nice act is just a put on, and for once, Sky is 100% correct: this girl wants to destroy both of their jobs and become the star of the show. And will stop at nothing to get it. Trying to prove this to everyone else, however, is a feat to be seen.

I don't want to give out too many spoilers here, but the ending of the story has a completely unexpected twist. For one, I never expected to ever see Kaitlin and Sky teaming up and acting -friendly- to each other in a million years. So you would assume that life on the set after all is said and done would be so much more pleasant now that they've seemingly made friends, but a much bigger bombshell than anyone could ever expect rocks their world and changes their lives forever.

Want to see what I'm talking about? Grab yourself a copy of this fantastic book today! Once again, I rate this book a huge 5 stars!
