I guess that most young girls hanker after the celebrity lifestyle at some point in their lives, but this book won’t encourage them in their ambitions. Being a TV star isn’t an easy life – in fact it’s hard work and Sam soon realises that she’s not only got to work very hard, she’s got to lose all her freedom to do what she wants and she has to put her long-standing friendship with Olga at risk. She might have the trappings of celebrity, but she’s lost all the things which are important to her.
She learns very quickly that not all of the people who inhabit that world are particularly pleasant. Her co-star, Seth, might look gorgeous, but he’s dishonest, self-centred and prepared to use anyone to get what he wants. It’s a good story and it puts the ''reality'' back into the reality show.
I’d like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
