The Actress by Amy Sohn

3.0

Good beach book. Sohn has the Hollywood lingo down and does a great job of capturing that self congratulatory, self-involved, self-immolating fragment of society. And I might have even rated it higher except that the story revolved around Maddy Freed who was just...ugh. Clueless, holier than thou in a society that is far from holy, self-delusional. She was just horrid. At first, I was willing to forgive her because she got caught up quickly in Steven Weller's world, but really for someone who was portrayed as so smart early on, she got stupid fast. And because I didn't find her believable in the middle of the book, her turnaround at the end left me cold. Good Hollywood book with a main character you wish would go away.
