Summary

Jackie Collins' American Star is a modern love story. At its heart are two extraordinary lovers, separated by tragic circumstances, yearning for each other, yet seemingly never able to be together again.

Nick and Lauren can 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, ending abruptly in a tragedy that sent them into separate orbits.

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.

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. American Star is a compelling story of love, sex, and murder, set against the glamorous backgrounds of New York and Hollywood, as only Jackie Collins can tell it.

Hard work and boring

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.

Too much cut out from the original

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.
