So Juicy

So many twist, turns, ups, & downs! I couldn’t stop listening. So good. Had me sad then laughing and shocked.

Good summer book

Everything is good but the read, not a fan of the narrator I felt like she was the worst part

Captivating!

Great story line and
lots of twists! I can’t wait to listen to more Jackie Collin’s books!

Excellent Escape

Wow! This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I needed a trashy beach read, and this did not disappoint. Suspense, murder, mystery, betrayal, sex. It was refreshing to read a novel written before cell phones and computers, where the characters actually had land lines and couldn’t be reached if they weren’t at home or at work. The narrator did a great job. Jackie Collins ability to weave characters and plot lines together is amazing.

Love Jackie

Loved everything!!! I would recommend Jackie Collin’s book to everyone. Now it on to the book in the series.

Not my favorite by her

I've read TONS of Colleen Hoover books, this was not my favorite. It was good, but had me confusing and trying to remember who was who the entire time I listened. Still good, just not great.

Memorable

I read this story 30 years ago, and I could almost read word for word with Emily Tremaine, who is a great reader btw, that is how memorable this book is.
Strong women, likeable characters, shameless sex, well written and overall a great read/listen.

Decadent Fun!

This book is 30 years old! It won’t win the Pulitzer, but it will keep you interested! I grew up in Hollywood and it was just pure fun!

Really?

It is rare that I abandon a book but that is exactly what I did. I just don’t understand the solid reviews on this? Got halfway through and was just depleted trying to feel any level of connection to the story or characters.

Oops! Perhaps My Friend was Joking!

A friend recommended this title to me, telling me that since I had lived in the Hollywood area, I would enjoy it. Perhaps my friend was having a little joke on me! While the late Ms. Collins was certainly an able author, the story was way too racy and gory for me. I listened to approximately ten percent of the book and could not continue. Were the novel to be made into a book, the rating would be NC-17.

The smug tone of the writer of the introduction also saved me from reading or listening to any of her titles, so at least I gained some benefit from spending a credit.
