APPETITE by Erika J. Kendrick is a the story of Kennedy Lee, who has a body that most women would kill for and exotic looks that make men fall at her feet. Somewhat depressed on not landing on the hit daytime soap opera ALL MY CHILDREN, she lands a role on another daytime soap, AMERICA’S NEXT SWEETHEART.
The night of her birthday she spends a wild night on the town with her friends only to wake up next to a naked stranger and an article in the paper about her exploits the night before, labeling her as “America’s Next Lush.” To make matters worse, she walks in on set and sees the unknown stranger, who just so happens to be none other than Jesse James, her co-star.
APPETITE by Erika J. Kendrick was a trendy read. It reads like an actress’ diary of sorts. Her first day on set, her personal life, and her hopes and dreams are detailed in the story. It also has an underlying serious note to the story…something serious in her past causes her to have an eating disorder. Will she be able to overcome this and will she find happiness and come to grips with her past? One issue I had with this novel is that she should have been aware of who Jesse was as soon as she woke up next to him. The storyline suspended belief and at times was not plausible causing me to pause and shake my head. I also feel as if Ms. Kendrick could have focused more on Kennedy’s parents with more clarity on the issues she had with them. If you enjoy a good soap opera…you will definitely enjoy this book.
