This is a fun read with a few nuggets of wisdom included via Laurel, Molly's mom. It's a peek into the world we can't look away from - Hollywood. Brick is a nice, self-centered actor turned producer/director who deposited his sperm into two women at nearly the same time. Both women found they had buns in the oven. One married Brick then went off to "find herself" and has been MIA for the past 4 years while the other returned to Indiana to raise the child in her own humble roots. Then she died.

So Molly arrives at Brick's house and Brooke is none too happy. Brooke is the instigator of this war but is, by no means, one dimensional. Brooke is struggling with her own issues of abandonment, rejection, and perfection. Until she figures it all out, she's just going to play the high school games of running her half sister out of town.

Meanwhile, Molly learns a few tricks, herself. She aligns herself with Shelby, the one you don't want to befriend because her daddy owns the gossip magazine and she's always looking to get the goods. What you tell her is not necessarily what will be published. She's practicing her craft very young.

Brick is far too self-absorbed to do much but show up on occasion and drive a wedge deeper between the girls by playing up the Daddy-Dearest card to Molly while Brooke is fuming and hurt by her continual quest for approval.

It's a cute story with humor and exaggerated Hollywood style. The authors are well versed in the fashion world along with Hollywood lifestyle. Personally, the only shoes I understood were Converse. Nothing else computed. I'm worse than Indiana.

There were a few loose threads that I either need to be wrapped up by my own imagination or another book will follow to continue the story. The ending is enough to stand on its own.
