I previously
read and reviewed the first novel in this series, I Heart New York, and I really enjoyed it! It was very much like a Sex and the City, chick lit type book, which
is perfect for summer! This second
book is a wonderful extension of the characters and the story, and I think I
may have liked it more than the first one! Bonus: these covers are the cutest things I have ever seen!

Goodreads Summary:
Celebs, sunshine
and beautiful boys…enough to lead a girl astray?
Angela Clark
can’t believe her luck… she’s an English girl living in New York with a dream
job at hip magazine The Look and a sexy boyfriend.
Her latest
assignment takes her to Hollywood to interview hot actor and fellow Brit James
Jacobs. Thrown in at the deep end she heads west with best friend Jenny
dreaming of Rodeo Drive and Malibu beach.
Soon Angela
discovers that celebrity life in Hollywood is not all glamour, gloss and
sunshine. Despite his lady-killer reputation, the only person who seems genuine
is James.
Then a paparazzi
snaps them in an uncompromising position and suddenly Angela is thrust into the
spotlight for all the wrong reasons…
Can she convince all those close to
her – especially her boss and her boyfriend – not to believe everything they
read? And will Hollywood ever win Angela’s heart?
Characters:
Angela, who
moved from London to New York after she found her boyfriend cheating on her,
continues her writing career with an online blog and magazine. Angela is such a fun character,
especially with all the trouble she gets into throughout the novel, that I
loved reading about her! She is
sweet, adventurous, and funny! I
love watching her grow and develop through her new experiences in
Hollywood. Her best friend, Jenny,
comes to Hollywood with her to show her around as she used to live and work
there. Jenny is another wonderful
character; her bold personality is fun to read about as she helps Angela
through her problems, despite having many of her own. Alex, Angela’s boyfriend, sounds completely adorable and
sweet! I love how these characters
have very real dialogues and adventurous experiences!
Plot:
Angela receives
an assignment from the company she works with to head to Hollywood and
interview a huge celebrity.
Hesitant to leave her boyfriend and her new home in New York, Angela
takes Jenny, and they head to Hollywood.
As Angela begins interviewing James Jacobs, the celebrity that all the
women love, she learns some of his secrets. As chaos breaks out (mostly because of too much alcohol),
Angela and Jenny must try to put everything back together before heading back
to New York. The plot of this
novel was fun and exciting; I buzzed through this book because I didn’t want to
put it down! The action was fast-paced,
and this book was overall very addicting!
Writing Style:
I really enjoyed
Lindsey Kelk’s writing style! The
plot moved along at a great pace to keep the reader interested. The characters continued to develop
really well from the previous novel in the series, and they grew and learned
through their troubles in Hollywood.
I love the dialogue between Angela and Jenny; it was so girly, fun, and
realistic!
Have you started this series? I definitely recommend it! I can’t wait to pick up the next book
in the series, I Heart Paris,
to find out what happens to these characters next!
