Product Description:
When thirty-something Tabby Brockman has the opportunity to reclaim her role as a killed-off character on the nation's #1 daytime soap opera, she figures this must be God's reward. But back on the set, she's faced with the same hateful head writer who killed off her character in the very first place, kids who drive her crazy, a stage dad who rubs her completely wrong, and and an unwanted boyfriend who can?t seem to get the message. Faced with this dizzying rollercoaster of challenges, Tabby has to wonder: is she finally a star on the rise or just on the brink of another spectacular fall?

Ms. Bateman's "Drama Queen" novels could be better written by a freshman-level composition class. I would give this series no stars if that were possible. I'm also wondering if the people in her church did the so-called editing. If the author really wants to know about 'drama queens,' she would do well to take an actual trip to New York City and see them in their natural habitat. No one I know speaks like her characters, except maybe 5 year-old-girls. Although I do not belong to any particular religious affiliation, I still appreciate good literature - written by anyone. Jan Karon's "Mitford" novels are a touch of grace and humour in my life and are read again and again. The author's main message seems to be that if you belong to her faith, you get the great job, the great guy, and the great life...all others are left in limbo. Well, put me in limbo. If this is what it means to be a Bateman Christian - then an un-predjudiced, non-Christian I'll remain.

Tracey Bateman did a great job writing this book. I read this book in one sitting. I tried to pace myself, but it was just too good!

This was a great read. Bateman does a fantastic job drawing you into the lives of the characters and she does it with such humour that you will find yourself laughing out loud!
This book is classic Bateman as she weaves the Christian message throughout the story in a non-threatening way.
The very first book in her new Drama Queens series, Catch a Rising Star will be so enjoyable you will rush out to buy the second book in the series!

Tabby Brockman is a rabbit working in a bookstore. Ok well she's a dressed up rabbit because her former job as a soap opera actress came to an end with her character's death. This can be blamed on jealousy by the head writer's husband being attracted to Tabby. She's getting by in life with her two best friends Dancy and Laini when she gets the call that she's been invited to rejoin the soap opera again. Now a Christian, Tabby has to make sure her character doesn't tread into dangerous waters, fend off unwanted suitors and try to stay on her toes with the hunky dad of her two soap opera kids. All in a day's work for an actress!
Reading this book introduced a very first for me. Tabby is a soap opera actress. I have never read in a Christian fiction book about a Christian acting in a soap opera AND still being a Christian. Normally the character will be a non Christian who's an actor, then converts and drops out of acting all together. So this was a welcome relief to see how one can be a Christian and act at the same time. This was a really fun book to read. I enjoyed learning about the soap opera world especially since I was a closet All My Children fan back in the day. It was interesting learning about what goes on in the makings of a show and reading about the backstage lives of the actors. Tabby is a great character who made me laugh a lot with her antics. I do love how there are characters you can love to hate in this book and that Tabby equally shares the reader's dislike in them. It makes the characters more relatable when they are acting the way you would act in that sort of situation. And I loved her relationship with Dave. Loved reading all the drama that happened between the two! It's just really cool to read about people who are around my age doing things they love, having great shoes and clothes but still be really adamant about their faith. I loved all the characters in this book and I'm looking forward to reading about Dancy and Laini's stories as well. If you are a soap opera fan or a chick lit gal, pick up this book!
