Spoiled Review

Spoiled by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
3 out of 5

I kind of like reading books about spoiled rich girls with problems. It seems like an alien world and I can't even be jealous about all the stuff because I can't really wrap my head around it. Spoiled is along the lines of Gossip Girl and A-List type books where teen girls have more money than God, often neglectful and indulgent parents, and some major upset in their perfect worlds.

Spoiled focuses on two girls who find out they are sisters. Brooke is the daughter of a famous movie star. Molly is the daughter of a seamstress in Indiana. Then Molly's mother dies and Molly finds out that Brooke's dad is her own, so Molly moves across the country to LA to live with her father and sister. Brooke feels displaced and acts accordingly.

Things I liked:

• Not as much brand name dropping as other books of this type. There was quite a bit of celeb name dropping, though.
• There were a lot of good secondary characters. While Brooke and Molly got annoying sometimes, the other characters made up for a lot of it.

Things I didn't like:

• What kind of mother not only doesn't tell her kid who her father is, but lies and says it's someone else who is dead, then springs it on her right before she dies?
• The lame ending that is obviously setting up a sequel.

Overall the book was okay. The plot is rather basic and not that original. The A-List: Hollywood Royalty had almost the same plot with the two girls finding out they are sisters. There were plenty of funny lines but it was pretty predictable. I may read the sequel when it comes out, but I may have forgotten about it by then.
