"Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List" - Janette Rallison



Sixteen-year-old Jessica is just like other girls, dreaming of going to Hollywood, working with hot actors and becoming famous. Jordan is a superstar’s son who has just moved to Three Folks with his mom. The two main characters briskly meet at Wal-Mart’s parking lot after Jessica’s shift; as they have exactly the same cars… Jessica gets in Jordan’s car then when he comes, she defends innocently and everything starts ever since. A few weeks pass by, they get together!!! Jordan is a gorgeous and independent guy hence he desires to get out from the shadow cast by his superstar father. He confides that he wants to get his divorced parents back together as well; the only way to make it possible is persuading his dad to come over for a long visit. Jordan decides to participate in a school’s production; Jessica enthusiastically supports that idea because she is also thinking about being “discovered” by a professional actor. Their relationship turns worse when Jessica lets Jordan's secret identity slip. He misunderstands her and blindly believes that drama is on top of her list and she will do everything to achieve success. After thinking and realizing that she doesn’t want to lose him, Jessica *risks her life* by changing the drama production into a section where she makes her apology to Jordan. Although it ruins the performance, it does get many people back together just like Jessica and Jordan, Jordan’s mom and dad… WHAT A HAPPY ENDING!

It sounds okay but I don’t think it’s a good book so yah… I don’t really recommend this! :(

HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!! :D
