Review: It was OK

*spoiler alert** I had heard a lot of good things about this author, so I decided to check her out. I picked this one, because I needed a character named Dana.I have to say, I was totally let down by this one. TOO much stuff happened to these people, and it was just totally unrealistic. This woman went from an overweight unhappy housewife to a divorced bestselling author with 3 books out, very well known and famous, a trialathon runner, Maxim cover model, and actress, in just a year. They hired her to do the lead role in a movie that started shooting in just a week.She had a bomb delivered to her door, was shot at by a crazy fan, had more crazy fans attack her at the movies, had yet another crazy fan break into her house with the intention of killing her husband and kids and raping her, was paid 15 million dollars for her second movie, was stalked by reporters and papparazi, got pregnant with twins the first time she slept with her new guy, in spite of having her tubes done, and the list goes on.And then there's the character names. The main character was Dana, her assistant was Deana. On one page there were Eric, Rick, and Nick. Dana's maiden name was O'shea, and the guy wants to write about a vampire named Shea.Dana was the best writer (and seriously, how many authors do you know who's faces are SOOO well known, just a year after they get published? Yeah, not many), the best actress, the hottest woman, best friend, best mother, best wife, ever. When people talk about Mary Sue characters, this is what they are talking about.From the reviews I've seen, this is not a fair representation of this author's work, I seem to have picked one of her lowest rated books for my first try, so I will be looking for something else by this author. I've give her one more go, just because all my friends seem to love her
