Hollywood in Heels is an autobiography of sorts by Charity Gaye Finnestad.  I have to say, I absolutely loved Charity’s writing style and it made me want to keep reading to find out what she had going on in her life next.  The book starts with her backstage modeling lingerie for a party hosted by Puff Daddy. (Or PDiddy? Whatever.)  Then we flash back to her being a kid to find out just how it was she ended up in Tinsel Town.

All of the names of people in the book are changed – and she doesn’t just change them to another name starting with the same letter, she gives them all nicknames. “Stunt Girl”, “The German”, “Duck”, etc.  It is fun reading about all her experiences – be it with relationships with friends, guys or at modeling or extras.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to the younger crowd, while I do enjoy reading YA books this is definitely not one of them.  But I would recommend it to anyone else 🙂  The stories are great – and you just can’t make this stuff up!

I received a free e-copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley.
