I checked this out from the library to take on a beach vacation because I figured it'd be a fun trashy beach read (and I've read the other books in the series, so why not). IT'S DEF. TRASHY, but it's also just forgettably bad. My by-the-pool time could have been much better spent reading something else.

I absolutely love Jackie Collins. Summer is the perfect time to crack out one of these scandalous and shocking books! It just wouldn’t be summer without them! If Collins wasn’t a book to read alongside the pool I am not sure what is.
Hollywood Kids has all the famous Jackie Collins ingredients and I loved every minute of it. The rich kids of Hollywood have all the excitement and scandal. I was hooked till past midnight to finish it. We have romance, suspense, comedy and all the designer labels packed into a fast paced story that is a complete guilty pleasure. It is not literary genius but it is pleasure in the finest form.
Granted that these books are all the same in some shape or form just with different characters, sometimes I did think I had already read this and it seemed similar to all her others but nevertheless I enjoyed it. You can always expect a blockbuster ending with these books and a happy one at that. I live for the epilogue where Collins wraps the story up in a lovely big bow.
The Queen on Hollywood Chick Lit reigns once more.

have always been a Jackie Collins fan.And this one definitely didn't disappoint.The love between Jordanna and Bobby was more fun than Micheal and Kennedy & the murderer was revealed early on but the connections between each plot all coming together to an end was surprisingly nerve racking.

I swear I only read this because it was the only thing I had at the beach. It was thrilling and full of stupid tropes about men and women. Also, blood ties are the most important thing when it comes to family, and you can dump any children you've loved and raised if you find out you're technically not related to them.

I was pleasantly surprised with this book and I'm so pleased I continued reading it. At first I found it a little difficult to get fully into as I'm not a huge fan of multiple character plots. However as the characters gradually began to merge and interact with one another, I could not put the book down. It was gripping, humorous and possibly one of the best books I've read in a long time! I'm definitely a fan now and this won't be my last Jackie Collins read.

Okay, after being bullied into reading Jackie Collins on our vacation cruise, I can actually say... I liked it. Mystery, suspense, sex, and an easy read. What more can I ask for?
I will definitely take a look at more of her works and add her to my list.
