Funny and Entertaining

Have you ever had a crush on a celebrity? How would you feel if the celebrity has a crush on you? That's what happened to Amy, the precocious heroine in this charming love story.Working for Vogue magazine, Amy spends endless days and nights dressing Euro-trash models. To her disappointment, the job is not as glamorous as she thought it would be. But when she meets Orlando Rock, a famous actor in England, she feels that she has found the jet-set life she has dreamed of. Amy wants to attend movie premieres, cast parties, photo shoots -- in other words, she wants to become a celebrity in her own right. But all Orlando wants is a private life and a relationship with a "normal" woman. Does Amy love Orlando, or is she using him? This novel vaguely resembles the movie Notting Hill, but the romance in the book is much better. I highly recommend it!

Most Enjoyable

I bought this book b/c I've been loveless. But this book is a good pick me up that gives hope to everyone. Witty, and romantic. Excalent book, a must read.

Couldn't Put It Down!

I loved this book. It was fun, smart, energetic, and down right lovable. I couldn't stop reading it and stayed up til 4am to get it done. It's a fast read, but you can savor every page and know that you have been treated with the enternal thoughts and feelings of a girl just like anyother. We can only hope to meet "our" prince charming as our lovely main character did....and, maybe he'll even be a movie star.

finally, a fun and romantic book !

This was a wonderful book, I would recomend it to anyone looking for a sweet book that just brings you up. Once you get into this book, which doesn't take long, you absolutely can't put it down! You will get so caught up in the sweet and exciting romance of Orlando and Amy, you'll wish it was happening to you. It isn't one of those dissappointing books that gets you all happy and then drops you off a cliff, it is sweet and ends just the way you want it to. This book sweetens up life and reminds you of the good times you know you've had. This book was great! A quick read too!
