This is an appalling book -- not that it's been published, or that it has strong material in it, but because it shows the devastation in the lives of these girls who believe in the myth of stardom but find that their dreams won't come true. Searching for a chance at a movie career, instead they sink into a morass of drugs and paid sex. Their only contact with the stars is with bored rich guys who pay them to come over, do things they probably wouldn't do for fun themselves, and then go away again without making trouble. They are the silent detritus of the American Dream. These are cautionary tales of the current age.
