About this listen

 American Star is a love story of two extraordinary lovers, separated by tragedy, yearning for each other, though seemingly unable to be together ever again.

Nick and Lauren could never forget each other. Teenage small-town lovers—he from the wrong side of the tracks, she the prettiest girl in town—their love was the town scandal, forbidden, sizzling, and unforgettable. But the whole relationships ends abruptly in tragedy. From that moment, their lives are split and they are sent into separate orbits, perhaps never to reunite.

Nick pursues his dream of acting, and after a series of wild adventures begins the slow rise that will make him one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Meanwhile, Lauren goes to New York and enters the modeling world, surprising everyone with a career that takes off in a direction she never expected. American Star follows them both on their trips to fame, as Nick and Lauren, haunted by the secret they share, try to live without each other—only to find they can't.

A compelling story of love, sex, and murder, set against the glamorous backgrounds of New York and Hollywood, American Star is a story only Jackie Collins can tell.©2004 Jackie Collins; (P)2004 Simon and Schuster Inc.

I love this book, its a go to holiday read and I always recommend it. But this version has so much cut out of it. It almost speeds to its conclusion and loses some of the sense of time that it took for the main characters to find one another again.

Too much cut out from the original

I love this book - I’ve read it meant times but when reading the book on holiday and trying to pick it up on the audio book I found chunks of text were missed out, therefore to get the full story I highly recommend reading the actual book for the best experience ❤️

Read the physical book for the true story

Not worth the credit. A disappointment and not to Jackie Collins usual standard. I kept having to rewind because I struggled to keep interest and never listened to find out the ending. I'm not sure I could tell you the main characters names it was so disinteresting.

Hard work and boring
