Review: Last Night at Chateau Marmont


Last Night at Chateau MarmontLast Night at Chateau Marmont by Lauren Weisberger

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I was expecting fluff, so no disappointment on that front. However, fluff does not equal dumb, and when the entire plot depends on the protagonist willfully ignoring what she already knows about her new life, and then whining about it...well, that IS dumb. The supporting characters also must remain blind to her situational amnesia, otherwise not only would they not sympathize with her, one of them would have to call her out on what is truly hypocritical behavior. The one thing that kept me reading was the setting. It's not very deeply researched, but what's there is interesting enough.
