If you’re struggling to choose a book by Jackie Collins’ to read, why not go with one of the most well-known? In a personal list by The Guardian, Collins’ infamous book “Hollywood Wives” comes first. Published in 1983, the book would later become the first of a five-part series. It was also Collins’ most successful book, selling over 15 million copies during her lifetime (via Famous Authors). 

Similar to her other books, “Hollywood Wives” contains several risqué scenes. Collins set the bar for raunchiness in her first novel, “The World Is Full of Married Men,” which was actually banned in South Africa and in Australia for a period of time due to its saucy content and focus on extramarital affairs (via The New York Times). The public couldn’t get enough of the seedy lives of the Hollywood elite outlined in “Hollywood Wives,” though, leading the book to be turned into a miniseries in 1985 (via IMDb).

Due to its enduring popularity, “Hollywood Wives” would be a good book to start with so you can get a sense of what makes Collins’ novels so addictive.
