I think it's something that scratches the itch of seeing behind the curtains of Hollywood without really getting deep into it. For me, it wasn't very interesting because it felt like most celebrity Tell-Alls without the vague curiousity of "did this actually happen?" Especially since I've grown up reading so much analysis and gossip about the music and film industry, it really doesn't compare to the rush of these little, possible glimpses of those worlds. Maybe that's just me though, lol. But besides that intrigue, this book doesn't have a lot to offer as far as social critique or character writing. It's not trashy enough to be fun in a Soap Opera kind of way, either, so everything this book does feels very safe. That's not to say it isn't well executed, it is very careful about how it writes about racism and sexism, but it does seem incredibly forgettable and it's something you'd reccommend as easy reading and to not offend too many people.
