Reviews:
Hello Hollywood! did not disappoint. This book contained romance, drama and, of course, lots of humor. Like many other character families Janice Thompson has created throughout her writing career, the Pappas family was quirky, fun, and loud. If you loved the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you’ll love the Pappas’s. In fact, I kept picturing Nia Vardalos as main character Athena. Food and family are the driving forces behind this novel, and is what makes it especially endearing. (Lynda Schab)
LOVE. This book is a perfect blend of comedy, charm. drama, and aspects of real life in Hollywood. The Pappas family is so unique and well-written. I felt as if I were spending time with a real Greek family. The subplot of “evil” Aunt Athena also added some extra zest to the story that made it absolutely wonderful. The author expertly builds the characters and the unique setting of a TV show. I didn’t think she could top Stars Collide, but obviously I was wrong. Bravo! (Prism)
