✦ Synopsis
After her brilliant run on Broadway and surviving the harsh concrete jungle of New York City, seventeen-year-old Hollywood "It Girl" Kaitlin Burke is back in L.A. starting a sitcom with her former-nemesis-now-BFF, Sky. The show is a huge success! In fact, maybe a little too huge, Kaitlin realizes, after a bad run-in with aggressive paparazzi puts her boyfriend Austin in danger. She wishes, once again, that she could have a normal life.
But what Kaitlin doesn't realize is that her Hollywood life has had a positive influence on just about everyone she loves, and it takes a minor car accident and a nasty concussion to truly grasp how lucky she is. In Jen Calonita's sixth and final Secrets of My Hollywood Life novel, Kaitlin learns at last about the price of fame, the unending upside of friendship, and that there really is no place like home-even if it's Tinseltown.
From the Author
For fans of the "Secrets" series, this is it: the final Secrets! It's definitely a bittersweet moment for me. I've written about Kaitlin, Sky, Laney, Austin and the crew for six books and I've loved every minute of it. I'm hoping this last book will be your favorite, as it is mine, and is many of my friends as well. Kaitlin finally (finally!) makes a decision about her life and decides what she's going to do with it, but first she has to see what life would be like if she wasn't a star at all. Is it better than she imagined or will she be begging to get back into her closet full of Jimmy Choos? Read it and find out, and thank you to all of you--like the ones who started reading about Kaitlin in seventh grade and now are in college--who have stuck with Secrets for six books. I hope you've enjoyed her world as much as I have.
