Sunset Boulevard by Zoey Dean

 Some people are born with it.

Starlet Amelie Adams’s new movie is being shot on location–at Beverly Hills High. But the drama on-screen is nothing compared to what’s happening off-screen. Lights, camera, deception!

As far as this one went, it was a bit of a filler. Lots of drama and plot, yes, but definitely a filler. I was also really hoping for a Myla/Ash reunion but–spoiler alert!–it didn’t end up happening after being hinted at for, you know, a good length of the book.

Some people were wondering whether the cast of characters was more connected in this one. The answer is yes, although it still is very six degrees of separation-y. Myla and Jake actually come face-to-face a couple of times, and Amelie ends up being buddy-buddy with Myla’s crew. Ash and Jojo interact a bit. They’re all separated, but it’s not like you’re trying to follow two completely different plotlines.

I’d read it, but only for the sake of keeping up with the series. If Hollywood Royalty wasn’t your cup of tea, then don’t bother.

I’m not trying to strike it down or anything though. I really do like these books. They’re like the original A-List for the younger set: no drugs, no sex, and little drinking.
