Happy book birthday to Hilary Liftin whose latest, Movie Star by Lizzie Pepper, hits shelves today!I think this sounds like the perfect summer read, but you don't have to take my word for it. Here's a bit about the book and the author to tempt your reading palate:
Hilary Liftin is the ghostwriter and cowriter behind numerous celebrity memoirs, ten of which have been New York Times bestsellers. In this, her debut novel, Liftin turns her ghostwriting talent into fictional brilliance with a celebrity “memoir” that is making a splash as the beach-read novel of the year. Dreamt up by Liftin one day when she was fantasizing about the celebrities she would like to ghostwrite for, MOVIE STAR BY LIZZIE PEPPER was born as the story of a beautiful, modestly successful actress who catapults to fame as the wife of Rob Mars, the A-list Sexiest Bachelor of the Year.
“I’VE HAD A MILLION MEETINGS IN MY ACTING CAREER, AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS WOULD BE THE ONE THAT WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER. I WALKED INTO THE ROOM, AND THERE WAS ROB... IN THE FLESH.”
Swept away by Rob’s romantic courtship, his luxurious life, initiated into the mile-high club, courted by every clothing designer desperate to “dress” her, Lizzie relishes having finally found true love.
But what happens when the dream-come-true fantasy life goes horribly wrong?
“NOW ROB KNEW ALL MY SECRETS. WHAT I DIDN’T THINK ABOUT AT THE TIME WAS THAT HE WAS STILL KEEPING AT LEAST ONE SECRET FROM ME.”
As Lizzie’s perfect Hollywood life unravels, and she is shocked to discover the “real” Rob Mars, Lizzie Pepper finally decides to tell her side of the story. She shares both the good: the million-dollar wedding, the award shows, the designer clothes (that it turns out she gets paid—a lot—to wear), the private jets to private-island vacations, and of course, the birth of their beloved twin boys; and the bad: the secrets, the lies, the locked door in their home that she is never allowed to open, the mind-body group, One Cell, that seems to control their lives, and the ultimate betrayal that leads to their shocking front-page divorce.
MOVIE STAR BY LIZZIE PEPPER reads like a story ripped right from tabloid headlines. Fast-paced and utterly irresistible, it’s a fascinating inside-look at the world of Hollywood celebrities.
I'll have a review for you at a later date, but for now the publisher is offering up some super fun gift packs to go with the book and I get to offer one to you guys!
