    About this ebook

    High school senior Ally Duncan's best friend may be the Vanessa Park - star of TV's hottest new teen drama - but Ally's not interested in following in her BFF's Hollywood footsteps. In fact, the only thing Ally's ever really wanted is to go to Columbia and study abroad in Paris. But when her father's mounting medical bills threaten to stop her dream in its tracks, Ally nabs a position as Van's on-set assistant to get the cash she needs. Spending the extra time with Van turns out to be fun, and getting to know her sexy co-star Liam is an added bonus. But when the actors' publicist arranges for Van and Liam to date for the tabloids just after he and Ally share their first kiss, Ally will have to decide exactly what role she's capable of playing in their world of make believe. If she can't play by Hollywood's rules, she may lose her best friend, her dream future, and her first shot at love.

      Escape, even into a world you've sworn to avoid is pretty tempting when your dad has what everyone believes is terminal Melanoma. His only hope is an experimental immunotherapy and the family health insurance is close to maxed out. Meet high school senior Ally Duncan, honor student, tutor to others and until things got bad financially, on the fast track for Columbia University all the way across the country from her home in Los Angeles.She's almost ready to give up her dream and let the family use her college savings to help cover bills when her long time best friend Vanessa, about to become star of TV's hottest new teen drama, talks her into being her assistant on the set, working around school and her dad's hospital stays. Despite Ally's aversion to the whole celebrity scene, the money might be the difference between her dream and having to give it up. The last thing she expects to find on the set is a fast growing attraction to Liam, the male star, but their chemistry sizzles, even though both work extra hard to hide what's going on. When the publicist for the show convinces Vanessa and Liam that having a fake romance is necessary to create more buzz for the new show, Ally does her best to deal with it, but coupled with the dislike between her best male friend, who she thought was completely into Vanessa, and Liam, plus the pressure of seeing her guy and best friend splashed all over the internet and tabloids, causes her to reverse course.What happens after she essentially breaks her own heart makes for a compelling read and one I enjoyed a lot. There are sexual references and profanity, but neither should be a deal breaker for libraries where teen readers enjoy edgy romance.
