Scotty’s headed for a new film shoot with Charley, her grandmother the foodstylist, but while some things never change - like Hollywood stars and the pitfalls of fame - Scotty refuses to accept the status quo for her life any longer. Since discovering the truth about Charley and her parents, Scotty’s tired of running - she wants the truth and she wants answers - and a little bit of normalcy would be nice. She breezes into town, quickly makes new friends, has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions of others. Her dialogue with God is unflinchingly honest and real, and because she refuses to accept easy answers, she’s a refreshingly honest, genuine voice. It’s wonderful to see such an honest seeker in fiction, someone who doesn’t fit the mold of a cookie-cutter Christian, and to see how she approaches prayer and learning about God.

Either I’m incredibly out of touch, or Scotty’s life is insanely implausible, but none of that matters - Scotty is an utterly believable, fascinating character. Samson’s writing is fast-paced and the dialogue snappy, which makes this second entry in the Hollywood Nobody series a lightning fast, can’t-put-it-down read. Scotty’s blog entries are once again a major highlight of the story - but I missed reading the comments section this time around. Samson resolves some of Scotty’s questions and the mystery shrouding her past, while leaving enough loose ends and open possibilities that promise the final two Nobody novels - Romancing Hollywood Nobody (Hollywood Nobody Series, Book 3) and Goodbye Hollywood Nobody - will be as compulsively readable, entertaining, and thought-provoking as this latest installment.

Purchase Finding Hollywood Nobody (Hollywood Nobody Series, Book 2).
