Book Review: The book version of reality TV - Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars

De La Cruz and Robinovitz have written a book that is so DEAD ON, it's hilarious. They talk like best girlfriends about how exhausting it is say "yes" to everything to chase and maintain fame, then how once you acheive the fame, you have to decline 99% of invites so you seem busy because "people want what they can't have." So true (just look at how well luxury items by Vuitton and Dior do when released in limited numbers). How funny to read that the people we see in photos hugged up next to each other at a bash might not even know each other (that's probably the work of a good publicist who said "Hurry, go take a photo with celebrity X, it will lift your status!)

Even if you're not trying to be famous, their "Cliff's Notes" style summaries at the end of each section can be applied to many situations. For example - how to get into parties you're not invited to, how to tip appropriately, how to be remembered, how to market yourself (hey, this is a skill you need to get a job nowadays!)

I enjoyed the book, laughed out loud at the light-hearted dissing of the celebrities who refused to write their book introduction and loved the tone of the book - like two good girlfriends filling you in on a wild experience they shared.
