I picked this book up, by Lauren Weisberger, a long time ago. And it's been sitting in a pile. When I realized how behind I was on reading, I thought "well, I guess I'll give this one a try since it should be a quick read". I wasn't holding out any high hopes. Not sure why. I guess I just expected it to be fluff.
And it was fluff. But it was very fun fluff. Very entertaining. And there was also a deeper meaning, about overcoming odds to stay in love and about who you really are when your life completely changes. I absolutely loved the character, Brooke. Brooke is married to Julian Alter, an aspiring musician. When he becomes famous, almost overnight, their marriage struggles to keep up with their new life. Brooke has to deal with horrible tabloid rumors, ideal Hollywood images, and an absent husband while she struggles to work 2 jobs. It really made me stop to think how your life could be different if someone was catapulted into stardom. Would your morals change? Or your behavior? Great, quick read! 368 pages.
Sounds good! I'll have to see if my library has it.
