How to Sleep with a Movie Star, by Kristin Harmel, is a great novel about journalism, celebrities, romance, and jealousy. I first found Kristen’s work when I read her fabulous essay in Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume, but her name was misspelled as “Kristin Karmel”, which made it difficult to find her! I finally found her website, and read The Blonde Theory earlier this year and loved it. I couldn’t wait to read more, but the library didn’t have How to Sleep with a Movie Star, so I had to wait for the opportunity to buy it.
Kristin Harmel has written a story about Claire, an entertainment/celebrity journalist (youngest senior editor ever!) at a Cosmo rival woman’s magazine. She’s used magazine-type headlines for each of the chapters, which helps the humor-level of the story. Claire has prided herself as being very professional with everyone, and the benefits of that professionalism are great - she is one of the first people that celebrities are willing to talk to after or during a crisis. Being successful so young has meant, though, that she has people who are jealous of her job and either assume she slept her way there or they want to sabotage her job. Read the rest of the review
