Main character Jesse O’Rourke pulled me into her story right away. A not-so-noticed, run of the mill girl who treasures relationship with her best friend, Caitlyn, and her parents, who work less than glamorous jobs. Her dad manages a two star restaurant and her mom cleans the wealthy Hampton’s homes. Her life is plain , including working at Starbucks clone, Prickly Pair, where she’s never seen the bottom of the muffin batter tub in the years she’s work there.
Everything is normal until XTV decides her school would be perfect for a new “reality” TV show, which ends up being anything but. Between only being about to eat sponsor products, and not being able to wear anything that isn’t designer, Jesse feels in over her head and wants to quit. She would if it wasn’t for the $40,000 scholarship she needs to go to Georgetown.
The story keeps you interested in everything going on and wondering how this can all be right. I think readers will be highly surprised at the end result, as well as how Jesse comes into her own. In a world when reality TV is seemingly unavoidable, this book give you a inside view and gets you wondering if your favorite shows are the same way.
On the Bookworm scale, I give this book a 4. Sit back and enjoy.
