Spoiled, by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

After her mother dies, 16 year old small-town Indiana girl Molly Bix discovers that her birth father is Hollywood action star Brick Berlin, and moves to LA to live with him and his other daughter, celebutante Brooke Berlin. Culture clashes and sibling rivalry lead to tabloid shenanigans and ultimately personal growth.


Spoiled was a quick treat of a read, with a light skewering of Hollywood and a refreshingly clean and good natured tone.
Well drawn supporting characters, including Molly's mother Laurel, added some depth, but the two sisters at the heart of the plot really made the frothy tale work.

Looking forward to the authors' next book!

Spoiled, by Caitlin Macy

Pretty amazing collection of short stories. Mostly focused on class tension among privileged New Yorkers and each other or with the help (nannies, cleaning help) that they employ. It wasn't that this whole thing hasn't been done before, but it was the knifelike precision of the writing that really knocked me out. The Red Coat, about Trish and her cleaning lady, Evgenia, was wonderful, the title story Spoiled, about teenage Leigh and her riding instructor was great, but I think my favorite might have been the first story, Christie.
