Scarletville is a sanctuary for red heads. It was created so that they can live happily and peacefully among other red heads. However, they do not act that way among Strawbies (strawberry blondes), brunettes, blondes and especially Arties (aritificial red-heads). So of course Felicity must be on high alert all the time because her popularity, perfect boyfriend, loyal friends, and perfectly red hair, all comes out of a bottle. If anyone found out about her fake red hair, she would be shunned and dumped quicker than she can say strawberry blonde.
The book that I am reviewing is The Chance You Won’t Return by Annie Cardi. It was a very good book with a lot of vivid details in which I liked! The age level is most likely ages 11-14. There is very few swear words and a couple sexual scenes.

Starstruck by Rachel Shukert paints a dazzling tableau of 1930s Hollywood; at once glamorous and gruesome, somber and scintillating, Shukert's novel plunges readers into both Tinsel Town glitz and pre-WWII political tension. When Pasadena debutante Margaret Frobisher lands an acting contract with Olympus Studios, she finds herself immersed in a web of tantalizing secrets.
I give it three stars, preferably 2 and a half. Why? Because I didn't really understand it. I only skimmed through it. It was not exactly 14 year old material, if you know what I mean. But, what I mean is the book had a lot of things that might've been for older people than I. But, from the pages I've read, I'd say it was an okay book.
