Definitely looking forward to reading the next books in the series. That makes Starlet's Web an inspiring story. Throughout Starlet's Web, I watched Marie grow up and mature, and go through betrayal the likes of which I couldn't even imagine and still come out strong and on top. ![]() To me, Starlet's Web showed the true dynamics of what Hollywood probably is. There were a wide range of characters, from the amazing actress with a long career ahead of her to the failed actress who is putting her life back together, and then those who want power and go about trying to get it in any way that they can. Starlet's Web is an addictive and very enjoyable book that was hard to put down.

I could not help but fall in love with Liana as she struggled to stay grounded and fight the temptations that come with the Hollywood life. Carla Hanna's style of writing is very eloquent and evokes vivid images. She is a kid who has messed up before but now knows better. Carla Hanna created a sweet main character who can do no wrong, a girl suffering the consequences of the need to keep up with the Hollywood standards and expectations.
