Beautiful Beautiful by Heidi Garrett
5.0
I was never disappointed when I read this book. There was definitely magic. Not that kind of magic that we saw in our faerytales. There are no spells...no pixie dust...no dragons..but a different kind of magic. This kind of magic touched my heart so deep that it reached my soul.
Kerrin Mayham work so hard to be the Golden Pinnacle 's director of the year. She knows that if she wins this award ,she will be moving up. Which also means bigger projects and making full use of the talent that she knows she had.
Once she finally had that award in her hands, fame started to follow. The biggest project was being handed to her in a silver platter and that includes the casting of this high budgeted film. The search for the lead role , Demion Glass is on.
Hollywood has the abundance of potential leading men to choose from. But Kerrin's full attention was locked when he saw Anthony Zorr. There is something in him that says he's Demion Glass..
“Anthony grinned.
Dawn shimmered across a rising tide.
Kerrin lost track of the conversation. All she saw were those cheekbones, those masculine bow lips, and that stance—not bloated and beefy, just taut. And tan. He glistened. Standing with his hands jammed into his pockets, he gave off an air of bashfulness.
Where had he come from?”
“Kerrin wanted him—she didn’t know for which film, and she didn’t care. She just wanted him in front of her camera, filling frame after frame, with that natural boyish exuberance, at the edge of becoming a man.”
That smile ... from that beautiful boy .... Kerrin was more than intrigue as I am. What's behind that beautiful exterior? Oh , if you ask me? I'd say, TROUBLE is clearly written over Anthony Zorr. But can Kerrin see that?
As I read this book , I found my self entering into the glittering world of showbiz where BEAUTY is everything...
Yes, I imagine all the glitz and glamour...the beautiful actors and actresses ...the eager paparazzi , the flashes of cameras ...all of it. They wanted recognition... they clamor fame. But have been thinking what's behind all of these? Take a closer look... you might even be surprised.
I love how Ms. Heidi Garrett wrote this book. Kerrin's life story was told as a fairytale . And Kerrin was quite a good storyteller herself... sharing this to her daughter , Mirabella each night. I find this scenario very touching as I remember my Mom reading me bedtime stories each night as a child. Every word feels like magic to me and I never grew tired of hearing it again and again. So, when Kerrin told her story, I am Mirabella.
The way Ms. Garrett interweave both reality and faerytale was a wonderful surprise. I never read anything like this... and it was really refreshing.
I loved everything about this book. I wish I could put into words the wonderful experience I've gone through with each page I flipped. It was definitely magical. Like, I was inside the two layers of stories : First, inside Kerrin's life story and secondly , inside her faerytale . These two stories were both weaved into a truth that we all probably search throughout our lives. And at the end of it all, leaves us with this question: What's your beautiful, Beautiful?
What's your Beautiful ,beautiful ? Read this book ...you might just find your answer...just like how I found mine...
