Book Synopsis

What if... Your picture was taped inside teenage boys' lockers across America, your closets were bursting with never-worn designer clothing, and the tabloids constantly asked whether you were losing your "good girl" status?

It's a glamorous life, but sixteen-year-old Kaitlin Burke, costar of one of the hottest shows on TV, is exhausted from the pressures of fame. Then she hits on an outrageously daring solution, one that has to remain top secret or it will jeopardize everything she's ever worked for.

Ava Donaldson, Teen Reviewer - VOYA

Although a bit maudlin at times, this novel is a perfect "pink" read. Unlike in other such books, these characters are not too shallow and do indeed have some good morals. Some things may be a little obvious, but the fun, upbeat story line never stops. This plot is slightly predictable but still an easy read with lovable characters and a believable setting. VOYA CODES: 3Q 5P M J (Readable without serious defects; Every YA (who reads) was dying to read it yesterday; Middle School, defined as grades 6 to 8; Junior High, defined as grades 7 to 9). 2006, Little Brown, 256p., Ages 11 to 15.
