"Cover Girl Confidential"

This is the first book I have ever read by Beverly Barlett. Her writing style is similar to Emily Giffin & Sophie Kisella.

If you are someone that keeps up on celebrity gossip, this is the book for you!
(Note: I don't keep up with the celebs, but I still easily understood the book.)

The main character, Ada, is a budding actress and she goes through similar scenarios to the ones you could read about in People Magazine. The biggest issue she encounters, is that she may be deported to a country she hardly knows; she grew up in America.

The author infuses this would-be fluff book with a piece of controversial pie. This book gives people something to think about when they are discussing the rights of illegal immigrants in this country.

A quote (of course!):
"The next question was about whether I ever comforted myself with 'soothing thoughts of the Internet.' I giggled a little. Well that's just silly, I thought. [...] The Internet isn't soothing.

But then I remembered that rough day just last week [...] At any rate, I remember [...] thinking: I cannot wait to go home, kick these shoes off, and mess around on the Internet."
