Description
From the New York Times-bestselling author of The First Wives Club: This novel about an aging actress's revenge on Hollywood is a "hoot" (Entertainment Weekly). Mary Jane Moran was an ambitious New York stage actress who lost the role of a lifetime and the one man she loved--all because Hollywood thought she was too plain and too old to star in the movies. But M. J. knew what she had inside--she just needed a little help bringing it out. Two years, forty pounds, sixty-seven thousand dollars, and a full round of nips, tucks, lipos, and implants later, the Broadway gypsy moth emerged a gorgeous butterfly with a new name and a new body. The woman now called Jahne Moore was svelte, sexy, and ripe for the big time. Jahne and her two sisters-in-arms--one ruthless LA native and one sweet Texas belle--are making their move on the West Coast. Television's top creator wants them in the season's white-hot new series. But as the starlets climb furiously to the top, they struggle to hide the secrets of their pasts. And Jahne Moore must give her most convincing performance ever when the same man who once broke her heart begs her to play a starring role--both in his show and in his life . . . "[A] juicy novel about Hollywood celebrities and secrets." --Publishers Weekly "Compulsively readable." --Daily News (New York) "Delicious and satisfying." --Detroit Free Press… (more)

It was bad enough that you needed a score card to remember all the character's in this dreck book, but the whining of the
Poor them-they are lovely, they are popular, they are making million's - my heart bleeds. Yes they have no privacy, but choosing this career path was, as I said-a choice.
To make matters for me worse, I went to amazon while still on my Kindle to read the reviews to see if anyone thought the same as I did -and one of the reviewers ruined a VERY important plot point.
The book does seem to pick up at the 75%, but by then I was skimming for good parts and it really got interesting at the end. However, it was mostly ruined by Jahnes' whining (love that spelling *rolling my eyes*good grief)
Stay far, far away even though it only costs $2.99 on Kindle and on Nook!
