Three best friends know how hard life in the spotlight (or in your parent's shadow) can be - and the rules that can't be broken.

Lizzie, daughter of the hottest supermodel, hates having her picture taken. She looks so incredibly awkward compared to her ultra-famous mother. Plus, she hates it when her mother makes them pose together, because Lizzie knows she's not beautiful, but she hates having other people acknowledge the fact.

After a huge fight with her mother over an accidental slip-up that makes it onto YouTube, Lizzie finds herself at a crossroads. She meets a photographer who sees something uniquely beautiful about her face - a new type of pretty with a natural look. On a whim, Lizzie agrees to become her model.

Now, Lizzie loves the camera and the modeling work, but she is too afraid to tell her mother the truth. Will her mom accept Lizzie's decision after their fight about posing for photos together?

I devoured this book - it's an addicting read filled with drama and friendship. I liked the twist, having the parents as famous, not the daughters. Although the daughters will come into their own identities, they're struggling to find separation from their parents. I can't wait for the next book in the series, due out in November.

Again if you want to get this book I recommend getting the other two, easy reads about girls figuring out what life is like and also they are daughters of super wealthy people. Do you like name brand references in your books? There you go.
