Veronica May, better known as Vee, has always been a daddy's girl. Now Daddy is remarrying and Veronica feels replaced, so she sets off to Hollywood, to follow her dreams of being an actress and to follow in her deceased mother's footsteps.
Vee moves in with her old best friend, who had graduated early to pursue her own acting dream, and with her advice, Vee begins taking yoga, acting classes, and starts working at the local coffee shop.
Of course, not everything goes as planned. With an unexpected romance, a backstabbing best friend, and all the drama that comes with being in Hollywood, Vee begins to wonder whether or not she'll ever make it in the acting world, especially when they're not exactly open to plus-sized actors.
ALL ABOUT VEE was, to use a single word, unexpected. I didn't realize there'd be so much depth in the novel, despite it's length. I figured it'd be something between GOSSIP GIRL and SECRETS OF MY HOLLYWOOD LIFE, but it was something so much better than that.
The characters were well-developed and relatable and the prose was well-written. You could really feel yourself being transported into the story and it was so easy to relate to Vee, as well as the other characters. The plot itself was original and not your average take on an up-and-coming actress. There was nothing about being rich or having the right look or anything you usually find in those types of novels. The romance was also very realistic and, though it was a bit predictable, I really did enjoy it.
I would definitely recommend ALL ABOUT VEE to everyone, especially if you have an interest in acting, Hollywood, or just want to read something fun.
