The more I go through these books, the more I feel like Anna should just give up on boys completely and focus on her relationships with her girl friends. I mean, when her and Sam are actually on the same side, the two can take on anything, that’s so much fun to see. When she’s constantly having to fight with Cammie and Dee, then it gets hard to deal with. Why can’t they all just be friends and say “screw you” to Ben and the rest of the boys that cause them nothing but heartache and headaches? I say, girls rule and boys drool.
I’m probably not going to go too deep into this review since the book is really short and sweet. Honestly if I really wanted to, I could read it in a day while I’m waiting to fall asleep or while I’m enjoying dinner by myself. It’s that quick, and I’m glad these books are. Honestly we don’t need these books to be over 300 pages in order to be interesting. Zoey Dean keeps it straight and to the point, making sure that the drama contained in each segment of the series is enough to make us wanting more. That’s how I like my teenage drama books, and this is no different.
I still need to finish the rest of the series eventually, and hopefully I will soon. I just say that I need Anna to actually be friends with these girls and I need Cammie to stop being such a biyotch to Anna so much. Ben doesn’t like you anymore, so get over it. Besides, Adam is a much better option anyway. He actually treats you like the princess you think you are.

Tall Cool One – Zoey Dean
Tall Cool One is the fourth novel in this witty and risqu series that takes readers behind the scenes of the intoxicating world of Hollywood glitterati. New York blueblood Anna Percy came to L.A. to learn how to have a good time. Now she’s surfing Zuma Beach with the industry’s hottest young television producer. But duty calls and Anna must jet down to Las Casitas, Mexico, on a secret mission for her uber-powerful businessman father. But it turns out Anna isn’t the only one staying at the super-luxury resort with a secret. Soon to be a major motion picture from Universal Pictures, The A-List and its bestselling sequels, Girls on Film, Blonde Ambition, and Tall Cool One, are full of page-turning action about the fast times of Beverly Hills’ most beautiful and glamorous people.
Blonde Ambition – Book Review
I don’t think there will ever be An A-List book that I don’t like. It’s hard to find any book in this series that I have read that I have an actual problem with. I’m so glad that Anna broke up with Ben, especially since it seemed like she was head over heels with him. There’s a difference between loving him and lusting over him, and she finally realized that before it was completely too late. Anna is so far my favorite character throughout the series, but Sam is a pretty close second. It’s a tie between those two right now, and when Sam and Anna work together, they are a force to be reckoned with.
Cammie is still the girl we love to hate, even if we can’t help but envy her body and hair. At least, I probably would if I had seen her in person. Just the way she has been described throughout the books screams sex icon, and I’m pretty sure she has been called that by quite a few characters in the book as well. We know that Cammie is hurting over the death of her mother, even if it happened when she was a little girl. She’s also hurting because it seems like her dad doesn’t take the time to actually get to know her, and would rather immerse himself in work and his other family members than her. Is that necessarily her fault? Or is it her father’s fault? I feel like it could be a little bit of both.
Dee is still a mystery to me. She can seem like a complete airhead, and then in another breath it seems like she has all this hidden wisdom inside her. It’s like she pretends to be stupid so that nobody will realize just how smart she really is. But sometimes her pretending to be dumb gets in the way of her friendships, and I think that Dee just needs to be herself with her friends if she wants these relationships to last. Sam and Cammie always look down on Dee because they think she’s a few tools short of a full set, so of course they take her for granted. It’s not right to Dee, and hopefully things will start to change.
This was mostly a brief overview of my thoughts so far of the series, but it stands to say that I thoroughly enjoy this series and I’m so glad that there are more books for me to read. I haven’t had enough of Anna and the Unholy Trinity, so bring it on!
