A novel has been released that apparently follows some very close correlations to Katie Holmes' life.

The book, by Lori Culwell, is called "Hollywood Car Wash", and is about the rise of a young actress on a tv series who is forced to lose weight, takes drugs, is hounded by paparazzi, and gets into a contracted relationship.

"Someone gave her a copy last weekend, and she's been reading it non-stop ever since," said one of the actress' friends. "She's already having problems with Tom, and now she feels like her private life has been exposed. She's really upset."

"Katie can't believe the similarities," said a source.

Author Lori Culwell denies that the character is based on Holmes, though on her MySpace page she does maintain that all the scenarios and people in the book are 100% real.
