A Hollywood Ending Robyn Sisman 9780452286139 Books

We are only a few weeks into summer and I have already breezed through a small stack of fun, frivilous, no real educational value but total candy for the brain, beach reads: Jane Green's Second Chances, Something Borrowed and Something Blue by Emily Giffin, A Dangerous Dress by Julie Holden. They were all good books, but A Hollywood Ending by Robyn Sisman was definitely my favorite.

I know the novel is set in Hollywood and features a confused, slightly air-headed, but flawlessly beautiful movie star (which means 99% of the readers will find her difficult to connect with), but I found it a charming tale about a woman's desire to strip aside all that is phony and wasteful in her life and get down to what is substantial and satisfying.

Paige Carson is a Hollywood born and raised, Oscar winning diva suffering a serious crisis of conscience. She loves what she does (acting in movies) but hates all that seems to go with it (ie. the backstabbers, media hounds, vapid wannabees, and blood-sucking parasites that live off the truly talented). She decides to put her Hollywood life on hold, head across the pond to jolly old England, and star in a play...by Shakespeare, no less.

Her life in England is far different than her pampered, coddled, sun-kissed existence in La La Land. She worries about being a convincing stage actress, has to find for herself on the mean streets of London (read: walk several blocks by herself, no limo, GASP!), and she has a cranky, snotty landlord.

In no time at all, Paige learns the lessons she needs to learn to be a happier, more grounded (read: less Hollywood-like) person and enjoys a perfect, Kabbalah-water fueled Hollywood Ending.

Don't buy this book if you want to learn about the history of the French Revolution, the complexities of microrobotics, or the ideologies of Tibetan monks.

A Hollywood Ending Robyn Sisman 9780452286139 Books Reviews

Fearing her career is diving into made for TV movies older women roles; Oscar winner Paige Carson needs a major success. She made a poor choice when she agreed to star in a horrific remake of Cleopatra. Paige is also losing juicy parts to younger actresses.

However, Paige is euphoric when she is selected to star with superstar Jackson Rolfe in what looks like may be the box office hit of the year. However, her inane co-star makes Paige reconsider her career as he is as unprofessional of an actor she has had the misfortune to meet. When London stage calls her to perform Shakespeare, Paige leaves behind Hollywood dirt and the latest tabloid lies and shenanigans especially her rock star superstar father. In London she finds herself attracted to her snooty landlord, Ed Hawkstead, a documentary filmmaker struggling to break out; he to his chagrin reciprocates as he does not want to want this Hollywood fluff dubbed by the press as Princess Paige.

This enjoyable contemporary romance stars two likable opposites whose initial stereotype of the other makes each detest their feelings, but this is more Paige's tale since the first part focuses on her woes and Ed does not enter the stage until act two (about halfway into the novel). Still as Paige and Ed become acquainted they realize their preconceptions were false and allow their hearts to lead them. Readers will enjoy the romance between this fine couple.

Harriet Klausner
Adorable Oscar winning actress Paige Carson lands a part as the lead female actress opposite the famous Jackson Rolfe in a Cleopatra remake called Code Red. She was ecstatic at first, but quickly her image of him changes as he ruins every scene they have together. When she meets with her agent about the difficult situation with her costar, she discovers that prime acting roles - meant for her - are going to aspiring young actresses. She is upset that her career just might tank. Her agent mentions to her that a London theater is offering her a role in a Shakespearean play. Fed up with the Hollywood scene, Paige decides to leave Hollywood, its spoiled trappings and her parents behind for a part in live theater. Both parents have been negligent in spending time with her, especially her dad, a rock star, since he left her mom when Paige was young.

It is off to London for Paige as she bravely struggles to fit in with the unfamiliar theater scene. As she grapples with learning Shakespeare, her acting coach advises her to get a boyfriend and fall in love - in order to capture the essence of adoration for her role. Sure, right! She, unexpectedly, harbors an attraction of sorts to her landlord Ed Hawkstead, a snobbish, handsome documentary filmmaker with lofty aspirations. Could Ed be her man?

Ed is not happy with his new Hollywood star tenant, believing she is trouble personified. His first glimpse of Paige has him thinking that she is so attractive she practically sparkles! This seals his opinion of her as a Hollywood diva. As Ed and Paige's paths cross, their original thoughts about one another surprisingly change. Does Paige realize that the right man for her could be right under her nose?

Robyn Sisman delivers a glorious tale of romance between two unlikely characters in A HOLLYWOOD ENDING. The story is charming, without feeling deliberate on the subject of love. I love how Ms. Sisman creates the story with a wonderful touch of realism by adding compelling settings and charismatic language. The story revolves around Hollywood life and the theater. Paige Carson, the star of the story, is disheartened with Hollywood and her parents. When the disillusioned actress leaves all that behind and moves to London, she moves in with a haughty, sexy documentary filmmaker - Ed Hawkstead. She is surprised at how snobbish he is! Ed's original impression of Paige is loathsome, but that all changes as they get to know each other. Adventures ensue and soon their feelings for each other change. Does Paige get her own Hollywood ending? Rush out and buy a copy of Robyn Sisman's delightful novel A HOLLYWOOD ENDING to find out!
