Caitlin Myers's greatest ambition is to be a star, and she can outshine anyone at her school. But then Lianne comes to town and starts to give Caitlin a run for her money, even getting top billing in the school play. So when Caitlin's offered a bit role as the bikini girl in a low-budget slasher flick, she ignores the warning bells (and her parents), lies about her age, and takes the part. It's not long before Caitlin finds herself out of her element when it comes to bossy directors and experienced film crews. Her only way out is to fess up about her age, but if she does, she'll have to come clean to her parents, her friends, and her boyfriend about the things she's done.

 

Oh my God. I can't believe that I actually wasted a few hours of my life reading this. Oh dear. I HATED this book with a passion that I'm not even going to do a normal sized review, otherwise this would just turn into a lengthy rant and I'm trying to avoid that. Ha.

 

Caitlin is possibly the most stupid, idiotic, dumb, pathetic and insert-every-bad-word-here character that I've ever met. This girl just wants me to rip my hair out and throw my kindle on the wall. She's 16, which makes her the same age as me, but unforetunately she's got a mind of a 5 year old. I don't mind (well, mostly) when main characters make mistakes, but she, SHE is just taking this whole damn stupid mistake thing to a whole new level. *claps* I might be a bitch for saying this, but what happens to her in the end, she DESERVES completely. I actually wished for more horrible things. Ha. I'm such a nice person.

 

Anyway, there really isn't much of this story that didn't annoy me, and there was really kinda no plot at all. No likeable characters. None.

 

In every book review that I do, I try to list the positives and the negatives but I seriously can't find a good thing in this book. Ugh. Just save yourself some money and time and don't pick this up. I warned you.
