My Thoughts: We are introduced to Alexia who is in high school. The thing I really liked about Alexia is she is actually smart. Like really smart and you can see she is smart by just the way she talks and acts. She's not annoying. She's real. She also looks just like singer Kari Kingsley! Put blond hair on her and change the nose a little bit and she would pass as her double! Alexia is just trying to make it through high school, and go to college on a scholarship. Her mom never had much money but they get by. She asks a boy to a dance and he ends up making out with her enemy! Things can't get any weirder for Alexia. That is of course until Kari's manager shows up to ask Alexia if she'll take a job as a double for Kari so Kari can focus on her album and not have to make guest appearances for other things.
Alexia eventually agrees and she goes on to live the celebrity life. She meets her celeb crush Grant and starts to fall in love with him. But he thinks she's Kari so things can never work out between them. How can she tell him the truth that she's a nobody from a small town?
What happens between Alexia and Grant? What happens between Kari and Alexia, do they become friends? Who else does she get to meet?
Overall: I really enjoyed this one. I've read Just One Wish by Janette Rallison and this one is just as cute. I love how this book focused on celebrities and the way Alexia got to meet her real world celeb crush. There are also many side plots, such as Alexia finally getting to meet her father who went out of the picture a long time ago. The duet between Alexia and Grant was smoldering! It was romantic and I wish it would happen to me! A Girl Can Always Dream. I recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a fun book especially if your a celeb look a like or have a crush on a celeb (mine is Chad Michael Murray).
Cover: Love it! I love the way she looks confident and all the details on the cover. For example, the wedding ring on the camera man's finger. The cover is very detailed.

Alexia Garcia has always been told that she could pass for the twin of pop star Kari Kingsley. The only difference between the two is that while Kari is living the life of glamour and wealth, Alexia and her family are unglamorous and poor.
So, when Alexia's enemy, Teresa, posts a mean-spirited photo of Alexia on the Internet, no one is more surprised than Alexia that it goes viral. Soon enough, things get a little weird when Alexia gets a phone call from Kari Kingsley's manager asking her if she'd like a job working as Kari's double.
Who could resist the call of Hollywood over real life?
Alexia takes the job, even though her real motive is to go to Hollywood to find her father, who she never knew. While there, Alexia meets gorgeous rock star Grant Delray, who she ends up falling for. The only problem is that he thinks she is Kari. Can their relationship possibly last if he knew who she really was?
MY DOUBLE LIFE is addictive and fun. It has everything a girl could want - celebrities, drama, and romance. Thoroughly enjoyable!
