From The Publisher: In her electrifying first novel, Nicole Richie tells the sensational story of Chloe Parker, a rock royalty princess and a card-carrying member of Hollywood's inner circle. At the age of seven, Chloe was adopted by a music superstar and his wife, transforming her life from rags to riches. What followed was a wild childhood distinguished by parties with movie stars and rock idols, run-ins with the press and the police, and a subsequent stint in rehab. Suddenly Chloe shoots to instant fame as a spokesmodel for a national ad campaign. When her long-lost birth father appears out of nowhere and her best friend betrays her, she must struggle to keep it all together -- her sobriety, her friendships, and her integrity despite the betrayals of those around her. Ultimately, Chloe comes spectacularly into her own, achieving stardom in her own right and finding true love. Through the eyes of the captivating Chloe and the talented voice of Nicole Richie, we are given a no-holds-barred look at Hollywood's new elite, behind the velvet ropes, inside star-studded premieres and parties. Whether they're doing the "circuit" (begin with shopping at Barneys New York, Marni, and Fred Segal, then end with the grilled vegetable salad at the Ivy), or ending up on the front page of your favorite weekly magazine, Chloe Parker and her fellow A-listers never fail to dazzle, their larger-than-life dramas more riveting than any reality show.

Excellent book! You may be thinking 'Gosh it's Nicole Richie, never thought that she would pick up a pen and write, i bet that book is stupid and stuck up about herself." well you're wrong. This book is partly based on her life, from her perspective looking back what happened in her life. Chloe Parker is the girl who resembles her. I think that this book is to be partly autobiographical. Very interesting book and many people can relate to it. Great read! Two thumbs up for this goodie! Well done Nicole, you have definitely proved yourself. recommended for everyone!

I really loved this book. It had a good story - it was pretty easy to tell who was who and it was just an easy read! I hope Nicole Richie keeps writing and bringing out more stories because I really enjoyed this book. It was the sort of book that I wish had gone longer! If you are into gossip mags etc you will like this book. Dont read it if you are expecting an award winning book.

loooooooved this book. from the moment i picked it up i was in love with it, from the nice cover to the full colour pics inside. this story is VERY similar to nicoles own (had me rolling my eyes at the similarities at times) but i still loved this 100%. a must read if you love all the gossip mags and dream of leading a hollywood lifestyle!

LOVE this book! a must have if you are a fan of nicole richie and her hollywood lifestyle that she and so many others lead. i devoured this book from start to finish, and lived every minute of it, it was just such an exciting read! it is about a girl called chloe, who gets into some trouble, and is rumoured to be loosly based on nicoles life, herself. a MUST READ!!!!

this is a really good book!!! if you like all that gossip and stuff then you will love this book! it has a very compelling storyine and lots of good pictures of nicole, exept they realyl do show off how skinny she is! but all in all, i one hundred percent reccomend this book to you! especially teenage girls!

this is such an amazing book, from nicole richie, suprisingly enough! this was one of my fave books to read while recently on holiday, as the juicy dramatic storylines made for some gripping reading by the pool side. this would also be perfect to read on a rainy day, and discuss with freinds later over coffee the next day!
