I received a complimentary copy of Silver Lights from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
Okay, to be fair, I am thinking this is an excerpt from a larger work. ? I was barely interested in this book and it certainly did nothing to hold my attention. Everything is very fake and forced. (characters, descriptions, events)
Nothing seems realistic at all. There is no depth of character, no real relationships. Nothing of interest. I don't believe this character or this world at all. I also do not believe that anyone would work such a terrible job just to write a terrible screenplay that will never be published. (If someone planned to do this, he/she should be strongly advised against it.) This book feels very self-indulgent. I think the author WISHES she had knowledge of this environment, but is not fooling anyone. A good writer actually writes what he/she KNOWS. (Michelle Lynn, you could do the research and then try again.) I don't have anything nice to say, so I will just say, don't read this book unless you can stand reading the phrase "Hollywood Dreams" about 2,000 times in a very short period on top of everything else I already mentioned.
