Secrets of My Hollywood Life: Paparazzi Princess by Jen Calonita (Review by Angela)


Summary:


As the last season of Family Affairs comes to a close, prime-time teen star Kaitlin Burke is no closer to deciding what she wants to do after the show ends. Struggling with career choices and bummed over a ridiculous catfight with her BFF, Liz, Kaitlin is so mixed up she even starts to semi-bond with her archnemesis, Sky. Worst of all, she falls in with two of Hollywood's biggest party fiends when one of them asks her, "Don't you ever do what you want to do?" Shopping sprees and the Tinseltown nightlife seems fun at first, but soon Kaitlin realizes that being a paparazzi princess just might be her downfall.

Review:
I really love this unique series about Hollywood’s “It” girl with a twist. Kaitlin, the main character, may be a celebrity, but she actually has morals and tries to do what’s right. She seems like a normal person with real problems who just happens to be famous. The conflicts in her life are not superficial and are easy to relate to: her mom is controlling, she’s fighting with her best friend, she’s trying not to spend too much money in a wealth-obsessed society, she can’t let go of Family Affairs, everyone is pressuring her to get another role, and she’s the last of her co-stars to land a new show. She stresses out, just like any other normal teenager would under all that pressure. Add the paparazzi and two party-hoppers, and everything becomes even crazier! This book gives readers an inside look at Hollywood and is also really funny at the same time. The characters, especially Kaitlin, are all realistic and refreshing. I really love this series and can’t wait for the next book!
