Part 3: Evaluate How To Fake It In Hollywood
A lovely book that tells the truth about the life of those celebrities in Hollywood, fake. Don’t ask me how I know. I love the pace of the book personally, and even if the author ever deviated from the original plot, she kept it interesting and witty. I found no wrong in the book at all.
The characters were portrayed precisely, and the message behind the book was narrated generously without talking too much or holding anything back. Ten out of ten for me.
