A little glimpse into the behind-the-scenes life of LA!

If you've ever been curious about what the real LA lifestyle might be like, then you'll really enjoy India's Summer. If you're a fan of the more stylish lifestyle and Rodeo drive and shopping and fashion, there's plenty of mention of the finer things in life in this great end-of-the-summer read as well!

India's Summer has been blurbed by some very famous people, including these stars below you might be interested in!

“India’s Summer avoids the familiar clichés of LA and yet captures the character of the city so well.”– Orlando Bloom

“India’s fascinating character is what makes India’s Summer a compelling read. she is trying to make a big shift in her life, in her career, in the choices she’s making. She’s funny, clever and vulnerable and you are rooting for her every step of the way.”– Goldie Hawn

Here's the back of the book blurb:

India Butler, single and about to turn forty, who travels from London to LA to reinvent herself. In a world illuminated by the flashbulbs of the paparazzi, she discovers the true meaning of “having it all’ while spending the summer with her sister Annabelle, a famous Hollywood actress, and her brother-in-law, a legendary rock musician.
 
They welcome India into their opulent, fast-paced lifestyle, whisking her from fabulous fundraisers to parties each more opulent than the last. This does nothing for India’s confidence and she maintains a wry detachment until she begins dating Adam, a gorgeous A- list actor. In an attempt to appear more successful she lies to him about her career.

Disaster strikes and India is drawn behind the veneer of Hollywood glitz and glamor and into Hollywood’s private lives. As her illusions about the perfection of their LA lifestyle fade away, India has an epiphany about her own real talents.

India is in her element until her new life in LA unravels.


Since India made a big change in her life at the age of 40, tell me, if you're not yet 40, do you think about a big change in your life when you get there? If you have already turned 40, what did you do to celebrate? For my 40th, Mr. Manic and I went to Playa de Carmen for 5 days -- lotsa fun!
