Fivestar (Mardi McConnochie)

Modelled very closely on the rise of the Spice Girls in the early 90s, this is a novel about an Australian version of the story - five young women recruited into a manufactured pop machine, their rise and fall, and the toll this has on their lives. It's fun, and fairly well written light fluff. I wanted to find out what happened to the characters, but I wasn't enthralled by it. It's an interesting idea though, so it gets points for that.
