From #1 New York Times bestselling author duo Erin Watt comes the addictive contemporary tale of a teen rock star in need of an image makeover and the teen girl hired to be his fake girlfriend.

Meet Oakley Ford-teen celebrity, renowned pop star, child of famous movie stars, hottie with millions of fangirls… and restless troublemaker. On the surface he has it all, but with his home life disintegrating, his music well suddenly running dry, and the tabloids having a field day over his outrageous exploits, Oakley's team decides it's time for an intervention. The result: an image overhaul, complete with a fake girlfriend meant to show the world he's settled down.

Enter seventeen-year-old Vaughn Bennett-devoted sister, part-time waitress, the definition of "normal." Under ordinary circumstances she'd never have taken this gig, but with her family strapped for cash, she doesn't have much of a choice. And for the money Oakley's team is paying her, she figures she can put up with outlandish Hollywood parties and a team of publicists watching her every move. So what if she thinks Oakley's a shallow, self-centered jerk? It's not like they're going to fall for each other in real life…right?

So far, I'm really liking the book! Oakley seems lost and stubborn which I have a feeling is going to cause him to butt heads with Vaughn, who seems equally as stubborn. I'm excited to see what happens when the two of them finally meet. I sense some conflict coming.

(view spoiler)[I absolutely love the banter going on between Oakley and Vaughn. She has so much sass and doesn't take Oakley's rock star demeanor. He's not down to earth at all, so maybe Vaughn will make him less jaded about the world? I can't wait to read more.

I hope we get to meet W soon because right now, he seems so illusive. And I wonder how he's going to react to having to break up with Vaughn. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I love Oakley and Vaughn together! The scene when Oakley shows up at the family dinner is so sweet, especially with his interactions with Spencer and Shane. I can also tell that both Oakley and Vaughn are warming up to each other. And that green room scene was so sweet! I don't really get a good feeling about Vaughn's friends though. I feel like they might try to use her to get to Oakley. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I really hate W right now. He's trying to force Vaughn t sleep with him just because of her job with Oakley? And says it's her fault that he kissed another girl?? I really hope he's out of the picture soon because I do not like him. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[The realization that W kissed a girl before he saw those pics of Oakley and Vaughn. OMG. I'm so glad they finally actually broke up. And that apology that Oak gave to the press was sweet. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I hate W. And Luke. I have a feeling he is going to sell something to the press about Oak and Vaughn's relationship and that he kissed her. But speaking of Oak and Vaughn... that kiss in the studio! I'm so glad Vaughn finally admitted that she likes Oak! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I love how Oak is so gentle with Vaughn and doesn't push her to do anything she doesn't want to. The barbecue scene was so sweet and I'm glad Oak and his mom got to talk about their issues a bit. (hide spoiler)]

End

(view spoiler)[I knew something bad was going to happen! What Claudia and Jim did was really messed up, but it made for an even cuter ending! The one thing I wish we got to see was what Vaughn decided to do with her life. I thought she would be a chef or something but we never get that clarity. Loved this book though! (hide spoiler)]
