I love the series more and more with each additional book! ( ) Product Details * Pub. Date: February 2009 * Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers * Format: Paperback, 352pp * Sales Rank: 35,226 * Age Range: Young Adult * Series: Secrets of My Hollywood Life Series * ISBN-13: 9780316118002 * ISBN: 0316118001 I have now caught up with this series. I really shouldn't read series out-of-order, but in this case it didn't threw off the entire read for me. In Family Affairs, Kaitlin and Sky have returned to the set of their hit television show to face a new villain, Alexis, the new actress hired to shake up the storyline a little bit. There is also a whole new group of writers hired to help keep the show as a top ten. Matty is also joining the cast. Alexis seems to be the greatest new addition to the family until she begins to bash her co-workers and throw tantrums on set. Kaitlin and Sky have to set aside their differences and work together in order to take Alexis down from the pedestal she seems to be on and save their jobs. Also, Kaitlin wants to learn how to drive and make Austin's birthday the best ever. How can our shining star handle all of this stress without losing her mind? Will her career make it through another scandal raised by a co-worker? Calonita always provides a fun read that is intriguing and grips the audience into the drama. Her little Hollywood secrets provide interesting advice for those that are always wishing to hit the big time. It gives the audience a quick peak into the life of those stars that we just love to follow in entertainment magazines. Kaitlin is a lovable character that is a good role model for teens. She is in love with a boyfriend that she is not having sex with (rare it seems in YA novels currently) and she is rich but not involved in drugs or other unattractive activities. It's rare to find a heroine that is fun to read about and still believe that they are a good example that kids can relate to. One of my favorite parts of this novel is when Kaitlin attempts to figure out if Austin is telling her that he loves her, or if he is just making one of those statements. I think we all have those moments where we are trying to dissect one thing that is said to draw out the intention and the meaning. Relating to the characters in this story makes it a quick read that I would recommend to girls ages 10-14. 5/5 stars Reviewed by Harmony for TeensReadToo.com FAMILY AFFAIRS follows teen superstar, Kaitlin Burke, as she wraps up her new movie, Pretty Young Assassins, and returns to shooting Family Affairs, the hit TV show she's starred on since she was a little girl. But all is not well on the set. The new girl, Alexis, proves to be a plotting new actress. She was supposed to be on the show for only a few episodes but, with her magic ways, ends up convincing everyone to let her stay. Everyone, that is, except for Kaitlin and her old enemy, Skye. They aren't falling for her act and it seems they're the only ones who aren't. Especially when horrible press stories start popping up in magazines, making them not only look bad to their fellow castmates but also to the producers. There's only one thing for them to do, but that would involve them working together. Can they even begin to pull it off? I've been a fan of the SECRETS OF MY HOLLYWOOD LIFE series since I read the first one awhile back. FAMILY AFFAIRS, the third book in the series, is, by far, my favorite. It takes the same drama from the previous books and adds a new twist to it. The characters all seem to mature, making them even more likeable and (dare I say it) realistic! The plot is definitely the most original one so far and there's tons more action than in previous books. Basically, I recommend it to all fans of the series, even if you were a bit disappointed by book two, ON LOCATION. Kaitlin is back! She’s just finished her big movie with her career and her boyfriend still intact! Now she’s off to what she does best. Staring in the nighttime soap, Family Affair. Everything is going great! That is until newcomer Alexis starts stealing some of Kaitlin’s limelight. Is Kaitlin simply jealous or are there more forces at workLike its two predecessors, Secrets of My Hollywood Life: Family Affairs, was a fun and fast read. These books are impeccably clean, so I wouldn’t be cautious about sharing them with younger readers. And even an older reader like me can enjoy them. I think I find these books so entertaining is because I know, when I see a People magazine on the shelf while I’m waiting in line at the local wal-mart, I can’t help but pick it up for its celeb gossip! Who wouldn’t want to be rich and famous (besides the already rich and famous). These books are an “insiders” look into the Hollywood scene! Even though Katlin isn’t a real celeb, I’m still able to get my People fix when I read these books. I also really liked the fact that Kaitlin is dealing with real like issues like getting her drivers license, studying for the SATs and worrying about her friends going off to college.
