Bling: A Novel Book

This was a quick read. In whole, the story is about a young woman named Mimi who was discovered by a hip-hop mogul. She quickly becomes his hip-hop princess. (Think of a Mary J. Blige type being discovered by Diddy.) While her life rockets from mediocre to mega-rich, she launches an album and falls in love with the mogul, Lamont. They have a seemingly fairy-book romance. The rest of the book is a mix of characters that weave themselves in and out of their lives and in and out of the music business.

While nothing about the story was profound, it did entertain me. I couldn't honestly recommend this book to anyone. Mainly because it did not leave any reside with me when I finished read it. I didn't care enough about the characters to wonder about their lives when the story was over. I honestly finished this book because I started it, not because it was intriguing. I wouldn't discourage anyone from reading it, it's just not a story I would ever return to a second time.
