I have to say I haven't read any of the other books in this series so I wasn't really sure what to expect.  As shameful as it is I have never read any of the famous Jane Austen books so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  This book is the third in a series but you don't have to read the first two in order to understand it.Kat wants to be famous.  She loves the stage and feels that it really is the only place that she fits in at the Jane Austen Academy she attends.  She has one really good friend Fanny and that is about it.  Most of the kids seem to shun her but it wasn't because she didn't want more friends it was more that she felt like she didn't belong and the only place that she can be her true self is on stage.That all changes when fellow student and already famous actor Josh Wickham invites Kat to travel to a movie set where she will act as his personal assistant she goes on a bit of a self-discovery of sorts.  Kat gets introduced to several different people, Izzy and Henry who she quickly befriends.  She quickly learns the good and bad in the industry of being famous.  The lies and dishonesty that exist within the business are apparent, yet she comes out discovering more about herself and what it is that she truly wants.  With the help of a famous actor's son she is show the true side of what a charmed Hollywood life can do to you personally.Love, Lies and Betrayal are all a part of this sweet novel.  People you think you can trust aren't exactly what they seem especially when show business is involved.  This book is very well written and is a sweet short story.  I don't know what the original book that is based off of is like but I enjoyed this modern day adaptation.  I give it a solid 4 stars as the book was very clean and well written and the story line and content was spot on.  If you like young adult books I would highly recommend this read.  I am certainly going to read the previous two.
