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.
