Absolutely loved reliving my childhood summer days of soap opera watching and all the data about soaps back in the day! Guiding Light, As The World Turns, even Edge of Night! Fun read.

Dear Reader:
Get yourself ready for Mary Lisa Beverly--a soap-opera phenom who's just won her third Daytime Emmy for her role as Sunday Cavendish on Born to Be Wild. She's fun and lovable and has lots of crazy friends, most of whom hang out at her house in the Colony, the famous gated community in Malibu. Unfortunately, there is one bad thing to poleax her champagne life--someone is trying to kill her.
You'll meet Mary Lisa's family in Goddard Bay, Oregon. She's blessed with her father, cursed with her mother, and betwixt and between with her two nutzoid sisters.
And how about guys? There aren't any hotties in L.A. of interest to Mary Lisa, but in Goddard Bay--there are District Attorney John Goddard and Chief of Police Jack Wolf. And guess what? Even in the boondocks, bad stuff can happen.
Mary Lisa's best friends, Lou Lou Bollinger_and Elizabeth Fargas, become embroiled in the baffling attempts on Mary Lisa's life in L.A., with unexpected results.
I hope you laugh a lot with Born to Be Wild, root for Mary Lisa in all of her roles, and all in all, have a fine time with this book.

Great thriller with many twists and turns to keep you guessing to the end. Mary Lisa, aka Sunday, is a soap star with a great life that is suddenly shattered by an aggressive paparazzi and stalker. When a young detective and the chief of her hometown police get involved in her case sparks begin to fly. I love Catherine Coulter's novels! They always keep you guessing!

Good book for sure, I couldn't put it down. I was a little disappointed with the way the storyline was written. I kind of knew half way through the book what it was going to end like and was hoping I would be wrong and have a shocking ending, but it was what I expected. Still a good book and would recommend for a easy, thrilling read!

Had me laughing within the first 5 minutes. It was interesting to have essentially 3 story lines running in the book (Malibu, Goddard Bay, and Born to Be Wild). For MaryLisa, her life in Malibu and the life she left behind in Goddard Bay are nearly completely separate from one another. That is, until she is run down and prompted to take a long weekend away from Malibu. I very much enjoyed watching the characters interacting with each other. They all had their own very distinct personalities and were well-fleshed out. Overall, I very much enjoyed this book.
