kamileishman 's review for:

Stars Over Sunset Boulevard by Susan Meissner

4.0

---

This book is about 2 women, Violet Mayfield and Audrey Duval, who meet working not he film-set of Gone with the Wind. The storyline follows their developing friendship and different direction their lives take. I absolutely LOVE Gone with the Wind, both the book and the film so I loved having that as the backdrop of the novel. I also loved how the author drew parallels between her two main characters and two of the main characters of Gone with the Wind, Scarlett and Melanie. Some questionable decisions are made by both characters and their friendship is put to the test more than once. I thought this was a really interesting book. It wasn't quite what I was expecting but I thought it was enjoyable nonetheless. It also made me dig out my DVD copy of Gone with the Wind and me me want to reread the book!
