To what audience would you recommend The Cover Girl? Is there another book or author you feel has a similar theme or style?
I think teenage girls would be a great audience for this book. The more exposure you can give girls to the way of the world the better. They might look back on these choices and think about the choices they are making.
I think this book would really appeal to readers who lived through the 80’s. While the 70’s had problems, it seemed idyllic compared to the 80s with the AIDS crisis and the financial collapse.
The club scene in Los Angeles was so well described. It reminded me of the book L A Women by Ella Berman.
I was not impressed with the book. I will offer it to one of my book clubs, as I like when others read books that i have read, especially books I don’t care for. Sometimes another reader will offer me an insight or an opinion that makes me think about the book differently.
This book could probably be categorized as both YA+older as well as “chick lit,” so anyone who enjoys that category could be an audience. The 2024 novel HONEY by Isabel Banta would be a good comp title.
I think the primary audience for this book would be teenage girls. Adults would also benefit from reading this, especially parents.
I would recommend this book to YA , for anyone 18 +.
I loved it and it reminded me so much of a Jackie Collins book. I loved her. She had a book titled Rockstar which I was thinking of as I was reading this.
Age recommendation would be for 18 years and above. Great book for parents of children aspiring to be models or actors. I am going to recommend it to my book club just to get different perspectives. As stated before, I think it was a well written book with lots of life lessons between the covers

Well put Ariene, I could not have said it better. I am well into my senior years and remember well that period of time when my now grown daughters were venturing into the adult world. I could not believe the lack of concern on the part of her parents. Wow!
I believe the book “Cover Girl” would be beneficial for the late teens and young adults, to emphasize the negativity of what some now call “body shaming.”
