The Sunset Crowd is everything I want in a book―complex characters, glamorous locales, and a plot that\'s as smart as it is juicy.
From Rodeo Drive to the French Riviera, Karin Tanabe\'s The Sunset Crowd is a tale of survival and reinvention, of faking it until you make it, and the glittering appeal of success and stardom, as it seeks to answer that timeless question―who gets to have the American dream?.
And it\'s not long before Theodora\'s unrelenting ambition sets in motion a dramatic quest for power in an industry that is as glamorous as it is duplicitous.
But in Hollywood, no one stays on top forever.
She\'s also Kai\'s oldest friend, and she\'s harbored a not-so-secret flame for him since they met at an elite Swiss boarding school.
A Manhattan blue blood turned West Coast bohemian, Bea holds Evra\'s Sunset Crowd together.
Observing it all is Bea Dupont, a photographer for Rolling Stone and Vogue, who never misses the party, but always keeps to its fringes.
Luckily, getting ahead by any means necessary is LA\'s mantra.
Theodora\'s got the talent and instincts, but she\'s not willing to wait.
The twenty-something Paramount assistant looks like a big screen star, but her sights are firmly set behind the scenes, as she fights to become a movie producer in a town where sex and sexism sell.
Enter Theodora Leigh.
By night, she\'s on the arm of Kai de la Faire, Hawaii\'s hottest export, and the screenwriter of the moment.
By day, she\'s at the helm of Sunset on Sunset, the store beloved by Hollywood\'s young and beautiful.
The daughter of an Oscar-winning director and a Brazilian bombshell actress, Evra is the city\'s reigning style queen.
Meet LA darling Evra Scott.
You can\'t have them all.
Love.
Fortune. --Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs Fame.
