From the Back Cover
Scotty Dawn has all the freedom a fifteen-year-old girl could want. As she and her mom, Charley, travel to movie sets for Charley's work, Scotty's allowed to go anywhere and be anything. But there are costs to such a life. Scotty doesn't know who she is, where she comes from, or who to trust. And who is the mysterious man they've been running from? Does he hold the clue to Charley's big secret?
Scotty writes in her Hollywood Nobody blog, and the answers she finds are darker than she had expected. Will she discover who she can trust and finally make sense of her world?
=============================================================
Hollywood Nobody was a pretty easy read. It would have been a fast read, but one thing that I didn't like of the book was how it seems everyone that Scotty "randomly encounters" are all nice people. And it is because of this that made me just put down the book every time something similar happens. Aside from the very obvious antagonist, who is pretty obvious as being "un-likeable" all the other people, no matter how randomly Scotty meets them, are defaulted as nice people.
There are some parts that get boringly repetitive. How she nags about her life being constantly on the road, how she loves cheese, but it wasn't too bad.
The SHOCKING DISCOVERY near the end of the book was pretty SHOCKING as well, and actually said discovery made the book very unbelievable. But still, it was an interesting read was enjoyable while it lasted. This discovery also promises that the book is a series and not a stand-alone.
I suppose YAs would like this, but anyone looking for a quick read would find this enjoyable.
