Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-25 00:00:00 Chris Thomas A breezy, fun chick-lit beach read about a woman and her overbearing mother and their antics in the entertainment industry in L.A., Lucky Stars also is a solid cheesy romantic comedy with a little mystery element. I could see this being a bad movie itself. I can't lie, though- read it without stopping today because it was fun and easy and exactly the distraction I was needing. Three stars- recommended for vacation or distraction reading. Exactly as expected.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-08 00:00:00 John Mahoney Thanks to this quick and funny book for stirring up my crazy weekend. Lucky Stars is about the crazy and tensed relationship between a mother and daughter and the misadventures they had to go through. The book was easy to relate to, as I saw myself in Stacey's place & my mom on Helen's. Stacey Reiser was an upcoming actress or a starlet trying to take her chances in Hollywood. I don't blame her, living in the land of stars would definitely make one crave for fame and fortune. In a surprising twist of fate (over a tuna debacle), it was her meddlesome mother Helen who got discovered instead and became very famous. Plus, there was that difficult-to-please film critic/reviewer, Jack Rawlins who bad-mouthed Stacey, thus preventing her from getting jobs in California. Helen Reiser was a tough act to follow, I kid you not. This Mother & Daughter tandem is neurotic! I loved how this book made me laugh; it's quite a classically witty, humorous read. There are times when I found myself in Stacey's shoes and couldn't help but get "angry" with my own mom because of her intrusive meddling. I love my mother, but there was times when she drive me nuts. And I don't mean nuts as in she aggravates me. I mean nuts as in she makes the tiny vein in my left eyelid twitch and sigh while rolling my eyes, babbling about her superstitious beliefs and stuffs. But I definitely love everything about my mom.. So anyway, if you got time and want some funny moments, I suggest LUCKY STARS this weekend. A perfect read just in time for Mother's Day.
