STARS COLLIDE (JANICE THOMPSON) BOOK ONE IN THE "BACKSTAGE PASS SERIES"



Story Description:

Kat Jennings and Scott Murphy don't just play two people who are secretly in love on a television sitcom--they are also head over heels for each other in real life. When the lines between reality and TV land blur, they hope they can keep their relationship under wraps. But when Kat's grandmother, an aging Hollywood starlet with a penchant for wearing elaborate evening gowns from Golden Age movies, mistakes their on-screen wedding proposal for the real deal, things begin to spiral out of their control. Will their secret be front-page news in the tabloids tomorrow? And can their budding romance survive the onslaught of paparazzi, wedding preparations, and misinformed in-laws? From the sound stage to a Beverly Hills mansion to the gleaming Pacific Ocean, Stars Collide takes readers on a roller-coaster tour of Tinseltown, packing both comedic punch and tender emotion. 

My Review:

Twenty-seven-year-old Kat Jennings is a Hollywood actress and star of the t.v. sitcom “Stars Collide.”  Her character, Angie, has fallen in love with her co-star, Jack, played by Scott Murphy.  However, in real life, Kat has also fallen head over heels for Scott Murphy. 

Lenora Worth is Kat’s hilarious Grandma, a former Hollywood actress herself who loves to dress up in garb from her illustrious past.  With her mind sliding toward Alzheimer’s, she lives in the past most of the time and has Kat stop the car during outings so she can wave to “her fans.”  But, Lenora also thinks Jack’s marriage proposal to Angie on the t.v. show is real and spills the beans to the press! 

Not only is ‘Stars Collide a hilarious book, it also touches on some other more serious issues.  I can’t wait for Book 2 in this series to hit the store shelves.
