Price of Admission

by Leslie Margolis

Money Talks. Secrets Walk.

Jasmine Green is the daughter of a major Hollywood studio head. She lives the kind of life that makes people salivate (while hating her): bottomless bank account, vintage car, mansion, and birthday parties that end up splashed across the pages of People magazine.

But even fabulously wealthy girls (and their family and friends) have skeletons in their walk-in closets. Just to clear her head, Jasmine anonymously writes a thinly veiled expose about her life in the form of a screenplay. But when the script is bought by her own father's studio, suddenly this juicy read is the talk of the town, and on the fast track to being green-lit.

Jasmine knows she has to do whatever it takes to stop her family's dirty laundry from becoming the next box-office smash. But she's up against one persistent tabloid reporter who's making it very, very difficult to keep her secrets....

"I told myself that if I wrote down all of the events, and what everyone said and did, then it would start to make sense. By transforming myself and everyone I knew into characters reciting lines, I could sit back and watch, figure out where I went wrong and how to make it all better."


Jasmine is one of those characters that you will almost instantly dislike the more you get to know about her. Not only is she an entitled character, she's also a cheater who until it's pointed out doesn't realize she's just as bad as the other people in her family that she's constantly annoyed with. Once she does realize this she seems to have a breakdown of sorts and really can't seem to handle things.


Add on to that that she's apparently too afraid to talk to her dad about the script actually being her diary meaning everything that's in it is mostly real.


Overall I was really disappointed in this book. The only character I ended up liking was Duke because he just told her how it was, and eventually got tired of her crap and said enough. Jasmine finally does do the right thing, but it's only after she is found out by someone that she does it. I did like how she finally got the paparazzi guy to back off.

I think I'm gonna take a break now from the early 2000's reads and go back to more current ones.
