Book Review: HDU by India Lee, A fun and sweet, if slightly(!) unrealistic smalltown goes hollywood(or in this case NYC) story.

Just like the Cinderella of this story Amanda, author India Lee has a fun, fresh and youthful voice in this story that takes a mostly average but fiercely loyal and unfairly treated smalltown girl through the adventure of her life as she concocts a crazy plan to become famous for nothing with the help of her virtual friend, fellow website moderator and undiscovered filmmaker friend Ian, that she just recently met after they've both had personal setbacks.

The story had fun twists and Amanda though sometimes frustrating (especially in how long it took her to figure out that the hollywood bad boy she loved to hate was in fact a stand up guy, and the one she lusted after -Dylan- was a spineless *ahem* f*cktard, or "douchelord" as Amanda once used to call her ironically charming leading man Liam... ) most of the time she is loveable, gullible, sweet and an amazing friend... I'm looking forward to the second book in which I'm hoping Ian finally gets clean and gets a happy ending of his own... and please make sure "the b/w itch" (you know who I mean) finally gets exposed for the sadistic and shallow monster she is... ( just remembered there are two of those in this story!) so I'm hoping to watch both of them fall from grace painfully while onlookers either cheer loudly or help the fall along with totally deserved punches and kicks to speed their just as well deserved downfalls in the upcoming second book. This one managed to entertain quite successfully... Let's hope the next one doesn't disappoint either!
