I thought I loved I Heart New York, but I'm pretty sure I loved this sequel even more! It was fast paced, equally, if not more hilarious and I couldn't put this fabulous chick lit book down.
Angela Clark is back and when her new career at The Look magazine sends her to interview fellow Brit James Jacobs, she finds herself in Hollywood amidst the thin, beautiful women of LA as well as in the company of James, whose photo is plastered among the gossip magazines with a new woman on his arm each night. She soon finds Hollywood isn't all it seems and when an uncompromising picture throws her into the spotlight, she could loose everything - her job, her best friend and most of all her boyfriend. Can she convince them not to believe everything they read?
This novel takes place in just over a week and it speeds along, including a twist I wasn't expecting. It was laugh out loud funny and I couldn't help but giggle frequently at Angela's antics. She's dishevelled, a bit ditzy, and fully flawed, but completely loveable. And it's not just her character I loved, but all of them. Kelk's characters are so fully formed and distinct that I felt as if I knew each one, even though the novel is written from Angela's perspective, and I couldn't wait to see what they would do next.
This is a fabulous, must read summer series for chick lit lovers and I can't WAIT for I Heart Paris due out later this year. This book could stand alone without have to read the first novel, but why deny yourself the pleasure! Pick up these books today!

Didn't love this!

Format:Kindle Edition
Angela Clark has barely been settled in New York for 6 months when her editor at The Look magazine tells her that she's being given a special assignment: she's off to La-La land to interview an actor hotter than Brad Pitt - James Jacobs. Angela duly takes up the challenge and sets off to LA with best friend Jenny, however when she gets there she finds that LA isn't as glamorous as she thought it would be and the only sane person there is James. Matters are made worse when Angela and James are snapped in an uncompromising position and Angela is suddenly thrust into the spotlight. Can Angela make her boyfriend believe there's truly nothing going on between herself and James?
I Heart Hollywood picks up two months after I Heart New York and starts, much like the first book, at a wedding. A chapter or two later and Angela is heading off to LA. The start to the book was hardly pacey and I thought I'd end up getting bored 60 pages in like it's predecessor. In a carbon copy of I Heart New York, Angela seems to have everything fall into her lap when she gets to LA, particularly when it comes to James Jacobs. They get along straight away which is believable enough, but the book then goes into "OMG so unbelievable" territory by making it seem as if James loves Angela (after she throws up and passes out on him, no less) and they end up being featured on gossip websites - Perez Hilton gets a mention! - which portray them as a new couple. Quelle surprise, Angela's boyfriend sees the snaps and all of a sudden, Angela's in a bit of a pickle. Again. Angela protests her innocence, but doesn't deny she wasn't thinking about it...
The worst thing about both books is the unbelievability factor. I love Becky Bloomwood's Shopaholic adventures because it manages to stay a bit true to real life but the I Heart books make it so difficult for me to imagine because it's as if they're happening in an alternate universe. There's a recession going on but Angela has no problem spending thousands of dollars on clothes... The book has no realism whatsoever. Also, there's a huge twist involving James Jacobs and his personality change after we learn his secret is rather astounding. I was truly gobsmacked at how quickly he changed, it was so unbelievable I could have laughed. Kelk's writing has improved a little bit, though, so I give her credit for that. Angela is no longer revered as a hero, thank God, which is another plus. Don't get me wrong I Heart Hollywood IS better than I Heart New York and I found myself enjoying it much more but if I don't like the principle character (she still calls men boys, by the way) there isn't too much hope for me to really love the book and get lost in it. Funny thing is, I will undoubtedly end up reading I Heart Paris... don't ask...

Have I read this before?

I expected a little more from this book....it sounds promising storyline about a hardworking girl meeting a fab actor - the interview which could set up her career, and then it all going a little awry. But I think I have read this story before by other authors, so it seemed a little tired and expected. The twist of the story with the actor was easy for me to see, and I think I would have preferred the story without the twist! It would have made better reading, possibly more interesting to see how the character resolved the dilemma of 2 men. Instead, the ending was the easy way out.
Will try another book by this author and see if its got a bit more to offer.

I'll admit that I've read this series out of order, so most of the plot was spoiled for me in a later book. Is I Heart Hollywood as good as I Heart New York? Not quite, but it's still a hilarious and entertaining read!
I noticed some reviewers criticized the novel for how the characters seem different from the first book. For one, I appreciate how the characters change and evolve as the story progresses. With everything that happened in the first book, it would be seriously unlikely for Angela to remain exactly the same. But that self-doubting mess-up Angela is there, and so is that strong, competent Angela. These characters are not one dimensional, which is a rarity in the chick-lit genre.
I love Lindsey Kelk's writing because it's real and honest, and I look forward to reading more from this author!
