''Literature/HollywoodBliss'' refers to two books by Creator/ChloeRayban about Hollywood Bliss Winterman, the thirteen-year-old daughter of pop icon Kandhi, the tenth richest woman in the world. Holly absolutely hates being in the public eye and would rather live a normal life, but Kandhi is determined to turn her daughter into a younger version of her.
The books are:
''My Life Starring Mum'': After a letter comes threatening Holly's safety, she is taken out of boarding school and is now living with her mother in a London hotel. She soon realizes that Kandhi is hoping to turn her into a minature version of her, when all she wants is a normal home, school and a life without someone watching her every move.
''Hollywood Bliss: My Life So Far'': When Kandhi decides to move to New York, Holly has to go too, and new challenges with her mother are already cropping up. All she wants are what every teenager has - a home, a pet and a boyfriend.

!! This series contains examples of:
* AffectionateNickname and EmbarrassingNickname: Holly's dad calls her "Holly-Poppy", which embarrasses her.
* AppearanceAngst: Holly has a list of top ten things she wants the most, which includes "Boobs (any size beyond AA" and "Smaller Feet". She admits in the second book that she will probably get the former as she finally seems to be growing.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Hollywood, like many celebrity baby names, isn't exactly an easy name to have. No wonder she shortens it to Holly.
* EverybodyHatesMathematics: Holly's worst subjects are Maths and Science.
* GenerationXerox: Kandhi tries to invoke this with Holly. It doesn't work, especially as Holly isn't interested in being a star.
* HotForTeacher: Rupert Smithers, Holly's tutor in the first book. She takes one look at him and decides she's in love.
* StageMom: Kandhi tries to force Holly into playing the teenage version of her in a biographical film of her. Holly clearly doesn't want to (even saying the worst outcome of the audition would be her getting the part), but she goes to the auditions, [[spoiler: but eventually refuses to do her second audition because she thinks the part is a lock for her, it's not fair to the other girls and she doesn't want it anyway]].
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Both books rely on this dynamic between Kandhi and Holly, but Holly's relationship with her dad also fits this, as he's almost as off-kilter as Kandhi is, although not as famous.
