Blind Item

De: Kevin Dickson, Jack Ketsoyan

Narrado por: Tara Sands

No one knows her name, but now everyone wants to.

As an assistant publicist in Hollywood, Nicola spends her days (and nights) sweeping up the scandals of singers, movie stars, and TV actors. Fresh from Ohio, she's rapidly discovering the real Hollywood is rotten under its glittering skin. Everyone is a hustler with a hard bottom line and a soap opera sob story.

When she breaks her own rules and starts dating a movie star, the Los Angeles scene starts to spill into her own life. As the paparazzi begin the hunt for sexy star Seamus O'Riordan's new mystery girl, Nicola's best friend, Billy, has her back while he prowls parties for the latest scoop to sell to the tabloids. Her roommate, Kara, keeps tabs on things, too - in between befriending a former child star and transforming herself from stylist to reality TV sensation.

As the scandals pile up behind them, their pasts will be exposed...and every secret can be sold.

Written by two Hollywood insiders, Kevin Dickson and Jack Ketsoyan, Blind Item's jaw-dropping scandals are real, but the names are not. And they'll never tell.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This book is as outrageous as any true life tabloid scandal - and is a must read!" (Jenny McCarthy, talk show host, actress, and New York Times best-selling author of Belly Laughs)

Spicy

I loved this book, it's different. This isn't just another one of those Caucasian girl from the sticks goes to Hollywood stories. This book is very ethnically and glbtq inclusive and very gritty, not afraid to go there and sort of like a mixture of The Devil Wears Prada and Dynasty. The narration is perfect for this type of story. Can't wait to listen to the sequel.

ehhh

slow beyond belief in the beginning. not e
believable enough to be real and not fantasy enough to be a get-a-way. just so so.

excellent

this book kept me engaged all the way to the end. beautiful and humorous story. very well written.

Okay listening

I expected a better storyline and ending. The book kind of rambles. Lots a cursing, which was superfluous at times. Got better towards the end, but just okay.

Great book!

Great book! Wish there was a Volume 2 to listen to next. Kept me interested on my commute!

Perfect book for summer fun listening!

The story follows a young woman as she peeks behind the Hollywood curtain and learns how the game is played. It has all the sheen, grime and sex of a tell-all Hollywood love story with some thinly veiled real life celebrity inspiration. My favorite parts are all of the supporting characters. The world of this book is detailed and surprising. The writing and performance for Gaynor, the high power take no prisoners publicist is so much fun! Highly recommend this book with one caveat, there is a bit of vocal fry throughout, although it is not gratuitous and very character appropriate.

Nice, simple story to listen to

Without too much or unnecessary drama, this story kept me company for a while. I liked it for what it was, though there was not any moment during it that made me go wow.
Beautiful in its simplicity, I'd recommend it for an easy listen. Beautiful ending of the story!

Good story be aware of...

This a good story but note that it does have some explicit parts (sex scenes & language.)

Entertaining

Fun and entertaining story. Great light listen, likable main character and fast paced story that keeps your attention

Super Fun!!

Made my commute much more scandalous than normal! Nicola is endearing. Great fun to hear about the machine behind Hollywood!
