Mini-review: Well, I guess TJR did it again? At certain times, I felt like I was almost getting into a reading slump with this one... Only to devour it through the description of the party of the century. While the characters and their stories seem like they just came out of the pages of a tabloid magazine, the truth is their actual personal stories pack up a punch. TJR brilliantly showed us, once again, that nothing is what it seems. Underneath all the glitz and glam, celebrities are humans, just like you and me. Carrie Soto awaits me now.
