No Ordinary Life by Suzanne Redfearn
4.0
I received an ARC from NetGalley. All thoughts & opinions are my own.
I am a big fan of Suzanne Redfearn and this book does not disappoint. In this quick page-turner, a single mother's daughter is discovered after a YouTube video goes viral of her singing and dancing, at the tender age of four. She is immediately picked up for commercial work and then auditions & wins a lead role in a television show. Going from having nothing to having everything, you follow this mother as she juggles the demands of being a stage mom, the intrusive media, and protecting her children from Hollywood & her ex who just wants the biggest piece of the financial pie.
Redfearn effectively utilizes other famous stars and their stories to craft a compelling piece on the many pitfalls of growing up a child star and the rarity of survival in the industry.
