Chick Lit Review

Hollywood Ending by Lucie Simone

Trina Stewart hates that the famous HOLLYWOOD sign mocks her from her own home. After 10 years in the land of celebrities and out $100,000 to film school debt, Trina has still not found the Hollywood job. Instead, she works as a teacher, teaching English as a Second Language- not her dream job. But she refuses to believe that she won’t reach her dreams. Not only will she conquer Hollywood, she will also find that perfect man. Somehow, someway….
Matiu Wulf, a New Zealander, finds himself in LA only to get some real scene design experience and take a class at UCLA to make his resume look good. With more movies being filmed in his homeland, he needs something to set him apart from the other film wannabees. But when he rents the apartment upstairs from Trina Stewart and begins to fall for her, he knows that is the last thing he can do. He is only in LA to take the class, get the experience and some connections, and head back home to Auckland. But when he watches Trina fall for the wrong guy, he can’t help but intervene…
Hollywood Ending by Lucie Simone is a cute romance novel with a dash of Hollywood sauciness. The story is told in both Trina and Matiu’s view points, so readers get an understanding of both main characters. I actually liked Matiu’s character more than Trina’s, which usually doesn’t happen! But he is such a manly man and delectable in both looks and personality that I really couldn’t help myself. There were times that I thought the plot could benefit from some more action, and it was a bit predictable, but overall I thought it was good story and I will definitely be checking out more of Simone’s titles.
Rating: 3.5/5

Robyn Sisman was born in Los Angeles, California, the hometown of her grandparents. But she wasn’t there for long- as a child Sisman moved around to Illinois, Geneva, Oxford, Munich, and back to England. In nine years, she attended schools featuring three different main languages- French, English, and German. At 15, her parents divorced and she returned back to America, but was always determined to attend a university in England.
And she did. After graduating from Oxford, Sisman taught English in Ethiopia and traveled to Africa before looking for “proper” jobs. It was when she was working as a secretary at Oxford Press University that she met Adam Sisman, a new junior editor for history. She agreed to marry him after the third date.
After moving to London with her husband, Sisman worked her way up to become Managing Director of Hutchinson (Random House) and shortly after became a mother. While Adam worked on his biography, she decided to begin drafting her own book- which later became Special Relationship.
Sisman then went on to publish Perfect Strangers and Just Friends, both which were Sunday Times Top Ten bestsellers. Her published titles are: Special Relationship, Perfect Strangers, Just Friends, Weekend in Paris, Summer in the City, A Hollywood Ending, and The Perfect Couple (to be released in 2011).
