I really enjoyed reading "Reaching for the Gods" by Laith Doory. The story is about Merle LaBrune who was an actress in LA Dolls. It follows her life as she tires to look younger then her actual age. She is in a relationship with Cody Reindollar who is an actor in The Bold and the Restless. He has a teenage daughter named Hedi who causes problems for Merle when she moves in with her and her father. The problems that Hedi causes Merle are catching her cheating on Cody, buying a bunch of pastries, and trying to harm her in which leads to Merle's arrest for child abuse. Lydia Reindollar, Hedi's mom is not a good role model for her daughter. She uses men for pleasure and doesn't want anything to do with her daughter.The book is well written and very enjoyable to read. I look forward to reading more books written by Laith Doory.
