Gigi Levangie is set to inherit Jackie Collins’ crown as the literary doyenne of ‘La-La Land’, with this, her second expose of life in Hollywood’s fast lane. Lavangie’s LA is deliciously superficial: every woman succumbs to the surgeon’s knife and partners are traded in as
social currency in a quest to climb the A-list ladder.
Finding yourself suddenly single in this environment is akin to social suicide, because the starter wife is the ultimate in Hollywood humiliation. And so, when the main character, Gracie, is dumped by her husband over the phone, she becomes a social pariah overnight.
If you are a fan of Ms Collins, you’ll love the cast of superbitch characters and amoral gossip. And if it all seems too shallow to be
true, mark Paris Hilton’s words when she says that Levangie’s writing is spot on and ‘totally true to how Hollywood really is’.
