Poor Little Bitch Girl -- Book Review




Denver Jones is a hotshot twentysomething attorney working in LA. Carolyn Henderson is a personal assistant to a powerful and very married Senator in Washington with whom she is having an affair. And Annnabelle Maestro --the daughter of two movie stars--has carved out a career for herself in New York as Madam of choice for discerning famous men. The three of them went to high school in Beverly Hills, and although Denver and Carolyn have kept in touch, Annabelle is out on her own with her cocaine addicted boyfriend Franke. ( Book Jacket)

Denver-- lawyer
AnnaBelle- madam
Bobby SantAngelo -- Club owner , Luckys son
Carolyn-- aid to Senator

The stories are more current and there also the richness of the people of New York and LA. These kids have their own dreams . It was nice to see some old characters and hear about what the characters have been up too. There was a murder , drugs,  one night stands, and finding out what friends have been up to since the last Lucky book.

Liked the cover-- Have read this author many times and very fluff novel and seemed to be her usual fare.

Book Review=3

Thanks to Planned Television Arts for the book and this is my Honest review.

This one is MINE-- Book Review




Violet Parry has the picture pefect life: a beautiful house, a successful husband , a darling daughter.Violet can speak french , quote Sondheim, and whip up dinner from vegetables in her garden.She has everything under control --execept her own happiness. All it takes is chance encounter with Teddy Reyes , a rouguish small time bass player with a highly evolved sexulaity, to open Violet's eyes to what she's missing and upend her life completely. ( Back of the book)

This is an adult novel.

I really tried to like this book. It reminded me of a car wreck that you see on the street. You see all accident and there is a part of you that wants to look away, but you can't  look anyway.That's how I felt about this book.

Violet--married to David, Mom
David- married to Violet, music manager
Sally- sister to david and tell her story too
Jeremy- boyfriend to Sally

Violet is missing something. She has the perfect life. Sally is struggling in her life and has made some poor choices and in a way wants the life of Violet. David is busy with his work and they have been married for 16 years and live in L.A. These characters all want something , and its interesting too see how it all comes together with the characters all meeting. I did like seeing how the characters showed some growth and actually started talking.

The bad  language was a turn off to me. This was a quick read for me. I wanted to give this book away, but my thoughts on not liking it book is big for me. I don't want to give away that I wouldn't pass along to friends. I think that I might have read this book from my local library.

Book Review =1
You might like this book , but I didn't want to pass along a bad book to my friends. So I won't be doing a giveaway for this book.

Thanks to Back Bay books for the book, and this is my HONEST review.
