In K E LeVeque's The Girl Made of Stars author Joey Cabot wants to write a book about Golden Age of Hollywood movie star Lola Grayson and buys the house Lola lived in. Within the house she finds clues to a mystery surrounding Lola and her early death. LeVeque means the story to be a parallel between Joey and Lola, as both women dealt with difficult mothers and are in interracial relationships, but Joey's stakes aren't as high as Lola's which means the modern parts of the novel aren't as interesting as past. LeVeque makes mention of real life movie stars like Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, and Joan Crawford but fictional Lola is the most interesting character. The Girl Made of Stars is a unique look into Hollywood and the trappings of movie star life.
