review 1: I assumed this book was going to be really annoying and lame and some chick flick book. But, I was looking for some mind numbing reading so decided to give it a go. I was blown away! It was funny and witty and exciting! As a theater major it was fun to see this "fakers" take on Hollywood, and see the lies pile up for a character you can't help but love!! I would love to read more from this character for sure!
review 2: My Big Fake Irish Life. Saw it on Amazon ages ago, finally got around to buying it. It's about an actress who is unsuccessful as her dishwater-blonde mid-American self, so decides to reinvent herself as an Irish redhead in order to give herself a unique selling point. It's laugh-out-loud funny in places, and all the characters are squeeful. I... more looked at a few other reviews on goodreads, and one negative review said she felt that the main character spent too long dwelling over whether she should reveal herself or not, and it got repetitive. I guess it does come up a lot, but, y'know, that's the story. I didn't find it irritating. That said, some books - Lisa Jewell's Joy and Vince and Thirty-Nothing come to mind - have a will-they-won't-they storyline that drags on for decades (both within the book, and in the time it feels like it takes to get to where they actually make a decision) and that did my head in. I didn't find this book similar in that aspect, but I guess I can see why someone would. I gave it 4/5 stars. It was happy and silly and generally cheering. less
