About Jennifer Andrew

Hollywood Wives Even though Jackie Collins is considered a fluff writer, I love her books. She is a good break from the serious drama and mystery type books that I like to read. This book is very entertaining and it delves into the lives of the famous, rich and exotic type of people.

She has a way of writing her story so that you never really know if it is all true or not. The more money made, the more opportunities for people in the spotlight to act crazy and get away with it. You hear it all the time on Entertainment Tonight or Star!

This book is about the lives of the wives behind the famous men in Hollywood. It describes the hidden lovers, secret fantasies and crazy dreams of these women who live in the limelight of their husbands. It was hard to say who was my favorite character because I liked all the women she described. They were glamorous, ambitious and delightedly naughty. What else can I say about this book except the fact that I liked reading about the problems that befall the rich and famous. The drug problems, alcoholic and relationship problems that the couples go through and how they handle it. With all their money and glamour, they seem to go through the same problems as everyone else in the world except it is more extreme because they have more money to blow.

Hollywood Wives is a nice, thick book that goes into detail about each character and what she should not be doing behind her husband's back! This book was like eating cheesecake after dinner. It was light, sweet reading that put a smile on your face when you were done and left you licking your lips for more. Jackie Collins is one of my favorite writers when I want to take a break from more of my serious reading. Hollywood Wives reminded me of the old television series Melrose Place which I loved to watch. For all you Melrose or Dallas fans, this book is for you!
