Lisa Samson’s Hollywood Nobody was interesting, funny and intriguing all rolled into one. Hollywood Nobody is about the life of fifteen-year-old Scotty Dawn and her perspective on Hollywood, actors, actresses and her life on the road living in what she calls the Y (an old Travco RV), traveling from movie shoot to movie shoot for her mom’s (Charley) work.
Lisa Samson has created a very unique and charming character in Scotty. Living the life she has, Scotty is very mature for a fifteen-year-old and I loved the fact that Lisa made Scotty’s character to be one that wasn’t your normal, typical every day teenager. Instead of her being into designer clothes, name brand things, etc Scotty is into vintage style clothing, cat shaped glasses and enjoys scouring retail shops for her clothes.
Scotty has amazing freedom living on the road with her mom and being able to go anywhere but with her carefree life comes questions. She soon finds herself questioning who she is, where she’s from, who her dad is and why she and her mom are always running and who the man is they have been running from.
Scotty begins a blog called Hollywood Nobody where she shares her views, thoughts and opinions about Hollywood and the actors/actresses. Aside from writing on her blog she also has Elaine, her diary that she shares her most intimate thoughts with.
At first glance I didn’t think the book was going to hold my interest, or interest me at all for that matter, because it was written from the perspective of a teenager. Boy was I ever wrong! Lisa Samson had me hooked from the very first page. I wasn’t able to put Hollywood Nobody down until I finished every last word. Talk about twists and turns that I didn’t even imagine. And now I can’t wait to get my hands on the second book in this series!
