review 1: The class gets a project where they are divided into groups; Celebrities and Paparazzi and have to report every week. Many “secrets” are uncovered and the emotions of the students well described. Some life skills and lessons are learnt by the students that will stand them in good stead when they are older.Definitely for the younger generation to read although I didn't find it boring, I didn't really relate to the characters.
review 2: This is a fun book to read. Definitely a summer beach-y read (although there was nothing in it to do with beaches at all). It's the drama you would usually find in a high school...only done a little more Hollywood style. Or paparazzi style haha. I liked Livvie, she was a great main character...a little quiet in her bestie's sh... moreadow but underneath is really funny and sarcastic. Chas, her tabloid partner and growing crush is really sweet too. I liked him okay. The others didn't really stand out to me though. I was interesting in a couple but it wasn't like I really liked them. There's some mystery surrounding the "celebrities" as you and Livvie try to figure out what they're up to and as Livvie tries to catch them in embarrassing photos :) If you're looking for a bit of Hollywood drama in a high school setting that comes out with a good message in the end then pick up this fun read and enjoy it!There were however, a couple of annoying characters, I didn't like Livvie's best friend all that much (maybe you don't know as much as you think you do huh??? * smack down face *) and the affair and cheating (see content section below) is a bit sad and taking away from the fun attitude of the book. But it does help you consider things in real life. Do the paparazzi ever have second thoughts about those they're capturing? Embarrassing photos that are TOO embarrassing? Underneath the lighthearted fun there is a little bit of a question and deeper meaning.Content:Language wise there was a slight bit of minor cussing (suck/crap) throughout the book and a few other "bigger words". An affair mentioned and seen (the mom making out with a teacher, rather gross), cheating seen briefly as well, gossip, "paparazzi" and "celebrity" drama.While I did enjoy this book I'd only give it about 2.5 stars as the plot was slow sometimes and it just didn't make me love it all that much. Still, it was a nice, one time read though :)I was given a copy to review :) Thanks Montana! less
