Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-10 00:00:00 Holly Puckette Book #1 in the series Hollywood Girls Club by Maggie Marr Sex and the City meets Hollywood! If you are a fan of Sex and the City, you will absolutely adore this novel. In fact, you will devour it.. just as I did. This was pure unadulterated fun! This book was lighthearted and provided me with so much joy and amusement. This book was by no means deep; let's call a spade a spade.. but it was just what I needed. Some of my expressions while reading this book were.. This book takes place in Hollywood, as you might assume from the title, and it follows four high powered women in the movie - making industry. Lydia Albright is a top producer in Hollywood and has an innate ability to produce. Her father was a major player in the industry, as well. Celeste A.K.A. Cici Solange is comparable to Angelina Jolie or Nicole Kidman. She is a star. Then there is Jessica Caulfield who is the agent you want if you are a major actor or actress in Hollywood. She has that je ne sais quoi that most agents don't have. Finally, the last woman to round out the Hollywood Girls Club is Mary Anne Meyers. Mary Anne was practically penniless, until one of her scripts that she had written was discovered by Lydia Albright. This book follows the meteoric rise to fame of the Hollywood Girls Club - and their bumps along the way. Even when things got a little bumpy, they picked themselves up.. dusted off their Minolos and Louboutins and kept right on stomping the ground. You go girls! Their trials and tribulations through out this book made me root and cheer for them. At the end of the book, I felt like they were my friends.. and I didn't want to let them go! Another facet of this book I really enjoyed was how the author chose to mark each chapter. Each chapter would be titled: Lydia Albright and Her Black Alexandra Neel Calfskin Pumps or Jessica Caulfield and Her Balenciaga Sandals . Every chapter having some relationship to shoes in one way or another. I thought that was really cute. It also reminded the reader that these ladies liked things in excess and had the means to afford that lifestyle.. Again, You go girls! For me, the keystone of a great novel is the likeability or relatability of the characters; whether or not you are invested in them. For this book, I definitely was and I will be reading the sequel without a doubt!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-30 00:00:00 Jenny d Davis The more I read of Hollywood Girls Club, the more I was sure the author knew what she was talking about. There was a definite sense of insider knowledge about the film industry as the book progressed, beyond the surface knowledge most of us would know. So I wasn't surprised, at the end of the book, to find that Maggie Marr is a lawyer turned agent, living with her actor husband in Los Angeles. Shades of one of her main characters, Jess. My first impression as I started reading Hollywood Girls Club was that this was another Jackie Collins wannabe. Sex, drugs and excesses, with a large dose of bad language (not good for using text to speech on Kindle when cooking dinner). However, as the novel unfolded, the characters became less edgy (in a good way, as far as I'm concerned), and that was when I started to care about them and their situations. The four main characters were women either at the top of their careers, or in the case of one, just starting out (but in a blockbuster way). Movie star, agent, producer and screenplay writer ... they were four women who had that most surprising of commodities in Hollywood: true friendship. It's this friendship that is the glue for Hollywood Girls Club. By the end of the novel, I was cheering each of the ladies on. Hollywood Girls Club was an enjoyable diversion. All fairly predictable, but that didn't spoil the story. It was a light, easy read. However, readers should be aware that this book does contain some coarse language and sexual references, together with a small amount of drug use by one of the main characters.
