My Rating-
My Review- This book was a quick light hearted read. The stories are nice and short and give you a quick and sometimes funny look into the lives of the stars that we idolize. I loved all the interesting facts and the bonus “extras” after the stories. These stories also show you that even though the stars are famous and we may idolize them they are still just regular people that are trying to live their lives the best they can. The way the stories are catagorized makes it easy to pick up and put down without feeling like your missing something. Overall a great book and I’m glad I decided to give it my attention.
