Confessions of a Wild Child is in first person and in present tense which may to some readers be a distraction but this proves to be an advantage for this novel as it reads like one long neverending sentence that allows you to devour every confession that Lucky makes. It also gives you insight into the makings of this great character so young adults or established fans can read it. You will not want to put it down. Celi staff didn’t.-S Cuppari
It is summer. Bring on those guilty pleasures. Jackie Collins is probably someone your mother or your grandmother read..and they might not even admit it. But Collins has a way of putting all the glam and Hollywood in perspective. Even the rich and famous have problems too. This is book nine in the Lucky Santangelo series.
Adding this to my must-read list immediately!
