My Thoughts: I read the book description of this book and thought I would like it. I like to read about the Hollywood scene and it seemed like a fun book I'd enjoy. And boy was I right! We meet Taylor who comes from a small town to Hollywood. She just wants to make movies and succeed. She wants to enjoy what she is doing. She has had a penpal for years now, but he has never written her back! She keeps sending him postcards along the journey to Hollywood.

I like to read about the Hollywood scene and it seemed like a fun book I'd enjoy. And boy was I right! We meet Taylor who comes from a small town to Hollywood. She just wants to make movies and succeed. She wants to enjoy what she is doing. She has had a penpal for years now, but he has never written her back! She keeps sending him postcards along the journey to Hollywood. She than realizes that Hollywood is just like High School, the snobby people sit with the snobby people, you have to be cool to fit in, etc. She turns to her boss's daughter for help. The daughter steps in and starts giving her lessons on how to make it work. One of the lessons is steal the mean girl's boyfriend. And she does. But things don't work out smoothly and Taylor learns a lot of lessons along the way. I would haved liked to see more of Kylie's boyfriend but he was in the book just "enough." I liked all the lessons, I liked all the characters (except Kylie of course). I especially liked her "pen pal" and the way that situation worked out. If you want to know more, go read the book! I highly recommend it!

Overall: Loved this book! It was so good. And entertaining. And right up my alley! Loved It!
