Description

Sixteen-year-olds Charlie, Keiran, Brooke, and Hallie have just been signed up for their own reality television show. They can't even believe it. "You'll be The Hills meets The Secret Life of the American Teenager," the Armani-suited executive tells them, "and the hottest thing on our network." How could they say no?

But soon enough, cameras following them everywhere and interfering producers surreptitiously scripting their lives start to affect the four best friends' relationship. Brooke seems to want all the screen time. Keiran is abruptly written out of the show-and consequently the group's friendship-when she doesn't rate well. As soon as Charlie realizes what's going on, she figures out the perfect way to give the studio and her home audience a much-needed reality check.

Because friends don't let friends do reality shows.

    This book was pretty good. It went really fast, and I was a little disappointed how (SPOILER ALERT) the friendship with Brooke went away, but other than that this was pretty good. All I can say is, according to this book, I would never do a reality show.
  • I love it, but....

    I likes the book. But.... I didn't like the ending, with brook and marleyna. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe brook dumped them fir marleyna! It broke my heart. I was hoping she would join them during the live episode nd walk out with them. It made me really upset that she didn't. But It was still a pretty good book. I would totally recommend this 2 fans of somhl( secrets of my Hollywood life) nd i recommend somhl to all lovers of this book. I think somhl is better than this one though. Also like sleepaway girl. Jen catonlia u rock!!!
