Well, color me pleasantly surprised.
I dont want to overstate it, this wasnt a fantastic book, it wasnt all that well written, and Im not going to start recommending it to friends. But compared to my experience with Conrads first novel, L.A. Candy, this was a good read.
Technically a spin-off series, The Fame Game follows Madison Parker (from the L.A. Candy series) as she is cast for a new reality show called, appropriately enough, The Fame Game. The usual Hollywood hijinks and backstabbing occur, but there is another storyline where Madisons sister, Sophia, shows up with their long absentee father in tow. Its a twist I didnt expect from this kind of story, and it really drew me in. (Daddy issues are universal!)
Again, like with L.A. Candy, The Fame Game doesnt end. Its the first in a series, so while there is a plot twist in the last chapter, there is no ending per se. However, I can honestly say I enjoyed the story enough that I would be interested in reading the next book in the series (titled Starstruck) if I came across it.
