A power-trippin’ bitch, a has-been, a skanky ex-model, a press-shy indie queen, and a British stage actress no one knows – that’s how the Best Actress hopefuls in this year’s too-close-to-call Oscar race cattily describe each other. Which of them will win the much-coveted gold statue and what price will they be forced to pay as they travel the red carpeted-path to Hollywood glory? Amidst all the press-schmoozing and angsting over which designer gown to wear, these Oscar contenders feud, commiserate, and face a succession of personal crises – scandalous secrets come to light, marriages implode, accidents land two nominees in the hospital while another receives news that could derail her career, all culminating on Tinsel Town’s biggest night when anything can happen, and does. BLAME IT ON THE FAME is the debut novel of author Tracie Banister whose writing is similar in tone (sexy, humorous) to the works of Lauren Weisberger and Candace Bushnell. This is a full-length novel that runs approximately 136,000 words. ***AUTHOR’S NOTE*** The characters in BLAME IT ON THE FAME are a naughty bunch who live and work in the notoriously debaucherous film world, so you will find some colorful language and a few spicy love scenes in this book.

Blame It on the Fame is basically 5 (yes, FIVE) stories rolled into one. Five main characters, actresses, are competing for the same award. The coveted Oscar.Danielle. You think she’s a sweet country girl. Nope. I’m just gonna call a spade a spade and says she’s a spoiled deceiving mega bitch who thinks she’s entitled to the win and will do anything to get to the top. Her poor hubs and kiddos.
Phillipa. Star of stage, screen and television who has minimal reaction to call from agent when nominated. Immediately liked her. She wasn’t full of herself which made a very nice contrast to Danielle. Her movie co-star slash cheating ex-boyfriend was also nominated. He has now decided he wants her back.
Anaya. I wasn’t sure how to feel about her. She’s a model. Often drunk and high. Later on, she seems to be very lonely so I started to feel bad for her. Still undecided though.
Jordan. I liked her from the beginning too. Just trying to do her own thing despite her parents being a famous actress and a director/producer (I forget now…). Her diva mother always insisting that she do what she thinks should be done. We find out Jordan has a lover too! I’ll keep that bit of juicy info to myself for now…
Laurel. Mother in her mid-40s who stepped away from acting to take care of herself after a major breakdown. We see her on an island with her family on vacation where she gets a call from her agent letting her know she’s been nominated for her comeback role. Anxiety overcomes her and she sneaks off to call her shrink. I really felt for her and was very happy with how her story ended despite some intense issues that come to light.
Despite the length, this was a quick read. Jumping between the different nominees made it easy to lose track of time. Blame It on the Fame is another one I’ll be ordering in print and anticipate reading it at least a few more times! I’ll be reading Tracie’s other novel, In Need of Therapy, in the next month. If I remember correctly, Tracie has another book in the works too! Can’t wait. I know I’ll want more after In Need of Therapy! Just love Tracie!!

Blame It on the Fame Tracie Banister 9781478250098 Books Reviews
This is the third book that I have read by Tracie Banister and I can't decide which one is my favorite as they are all so different. I really enjoyed the behind the scenes look at the Oscars and the lifestyles of the Hollywood elite. I found myself rooting for four of the five nominees in this book. I won't give away who won, but it was a rather exciting moment. Especially the way Ms. Banister let Oscar night unfold.
I loved the epilogue at the end and there were several moments during the story where I found myself tearing up. Throughout the book, I highlighted some lines as others had also done before. There are so many memorable scenes in this intricate tale woven from the viewpoint of each of these actresses. This story is constructed of highly developed characters and relationships, and has everything you want if you are a fan of swooning over leading men, laughing hysterically, gripping your heart for heartwarming moments, and the thrill of seeing people get what they truly deserve!
"And the Oscar for Best Actress goes to ..." There are five VERY different woman who are all anxiously awaiting the name at the end of that sentence, but not everyone wanting it to be their name called.
There is Danielle Jamison, a two time Oscar nominated actress who is not the sweet Kansas girl that she portrays to the public. Instead, she's a queen bee who bosses people around and only spends time with her kids when she knows the media will be around to see her.
Then there's British actress, Philippa Sutcliffe, who is a star of stage, screen and television. Her response to being nominated was less of excitement and more of disinterest. Philippa feels that the Oscar winners are based more on popularity than talent and could care less about her nomination and even less about winning.
Anaya Reynolds is not your typical Oscar nominee. She is a pot smoking, tequila drinking model turned actress. If she wants any chance of winning this prestigious award, she better learn to keep her panties on and her bare bottom out of the paparazzi's lens shot!
Jordan Schaeffer, daughter to two well-known actors, definitely has the pedigree of an Oscar nominee. With all of her parents celebrity connections in Hollywood, one would think that she would be a shoo in to win the coveted golden statue. But just because your parents are the king and queen of Hollywood doesn't mean that the trophy will automatically go to you.
Laurel Hastings is no rookie to acting, but her mental health forced her to take a break from it. Thinking that it may fulfill her need for creativity, Laurel decided to start acting again. Had she known that she would be nominated for an Oscar, Laurel would've never even considered acting again.
Go behind the scenes with the nominees as they smile for the press, talk trash behind each other's backs and each go through their own personal struggles. Life in the lime light isn't always fancy cars and shopping sprees. There are struggles that no one else sees, but you never want to blame it on yourself. Instead, it's easier to Blame It On The Fame!
Blame It On The Fame is Tracie Banister's debut novel. I thought she did a great job giving the reader a behind the scenes look at the life of a celebrity. I enjoyed the uniqueness of each character and the parts they played in the story. I found myself rooting for certain celebrities to win and hoping others wouldn't. Overall, I found this book to be very enjoyable and humorous. I felt that the author did a great job keeping me engaged and wanting to see what was going to happen next. I would definitely recommend this book to someone looking for a fun, entertaining and captivating read.
