This was an interesting read. Kate’s character development growth was lovely. Loved the bond formed between Kate and Aj and all the other friendships/ family bonds. The whole book flowed well and loved the ending.

I wish I could give half stars! It’s a 3.5. Even though it’s young adult and I’m not technically in that genre anymore... it was an easy read that I did enjoy.

Attention all middle school dreamers!
This book has left me hanging on a cliff needing more! AJ Smith and Kate Kelly are complete opposites. One "Mechanic Girl" and one "Ms. Perfect Blonde". The reality show in the story is even made JUST to see the contrast between "black and pink"! Armies of pencils are working against huge erasers this time. Their relationship is bonded by one common frenemy. (Like how all friendships start...) I've read this book twice. Both times has got me on my feet saying, "You go girl!" Both times made me feel betrayal. Both times helped me realize how important believing in yourself is. The author just keeps stirring up more trouble, bringing the drama, and sprinkling some suspense. I would love to read this book again. And again. And again. It is just THAT good.

This book really surprised me. It was much better than I had expected, which is always a great surprise. I loved the story, and couldn't stop reading.
The writing is good, the characters are great, and the storyline is very good.
I received this book as a free copy in exchange for my honest review. I'm happy I got to read this book, it's well worth reading, but would not have purchased it for the price I saw on amazon.

This book is cute. I imagine I’m not the target demographic so that’s why I didn’t love it. For me the concept of this reality show was just a little strange. I’ve never heard of a reality show filming at a school. And it didn’t seem like either girl wanted to be in it at all (seemed like they were being forced). The ending was anti-climactic and ended on a weird note. However, I did like the journey the two characters go through through throughout the book.

I surprisingly liked this book. Pretty easy read, but fun story.

I am such a sucker for books about a fish-out-of-water transplant, and reality TV themes for books. Guilty pleasure? So when I read the synopsis for this one, I knew I had to read it.
A.J. Stewart moves to Nashville from the backwoods of Tennessee after the death of her father. She has 2 older brothers and is more of a grease monkey than a makeup hound. Kate Kelly grew up in Nashville surrounded by expensive fashion, extravagance and being perfect in her private school. Hmmm two completely different girls from two different worlds? We can all see where this is going...
A reality TV show is a possibility, and what could be better than contrasting Kate and A.J? Sprinkled throughout are thoughts on God, losing your faith and finding it again.
With all that being said, as I viewed an ARC, I'm not sure what has changed between what I have read and the synopsis that is posted as of the date of my review. It discusses Kate's brother Val (not his name in the version I read), and the two of them going to summer camp together. Again, that did not happen in the version I read. Would be interested to read what type of camp both of them would attend together.
Give this one a try. I don't know who the author is as I have never seen Duck Dynasty, and I do not know who the ghostwriter was, but I enjoyed the story for what it was.
