[LM_NET] BOOK: True confessions of a Hollywood starlet by Douglas

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Douglas, Lola. True confessions of a Hollywood starlet.
RazorBill/Penguin, 2005 [159514-093-x]
This is an interesting twist on several books with similar titles.
Here we have an actual starlet who has had a drinking problem and a
drug overdose.  She is sent to a treatment program after which her
mother decides she needs a real life so her hair is dyed and she is
enrolled in a Midwestern H.S. to live like a normal teenage  Of course
it is important that non one learns of her background.  This 259 page
book traces her transition from feeling aloof yet trying to fit in, to
actually becoming a integral part of the school community.  Can she
keep her secret?  What will happen when she leaves and goes back to
Hollywood after a year?  I enjoyed the story.  It is a fun story with
serious undertones.
