Not bad for a book geared toward the tween age group. It seemed silly and unrealistic to me, but if I was 13 I probably would have loved it. I give it a C+.

I'd probably rate this book a 3.5 stars. Yes, it's super cheesy and full of tropes, but I enjoyed it. It was a fun and quick read, that reminds me of the kind of books I read in middle school. For me, it's one of those genres that I pick up every so often to remind myself why I fell in love with reading.
A few times I caught myself laughing at how obviously dated this book is like the MC uses a sidekick, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are still together. Also the fact that kids were obsessed with Hilary Duff and Paris Hilton, plus there was absolutely NO mention of the Kardashians. (; (that last part was a joke.)

I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it. The way the book is translated into French when the MC writes to herself is sometimes incomprehensible because abbreviations do not make sense. We end up getting used to it, but I had to read it quickly to understand what she meant. I really enjoyed Kaitlin's character. However, Sky's was annoying to me. The more Kaitlin found Austin attractive the more I found him attractive myself. The end of the novel really makes us want to read the second, so I can not wait to see what happens.
J'ai vraiment apprécié ce livre. De prime abord je n'étais vraiment pas certaine d'aimer ça. La façon dont le livre est traduit en français lorsqu'elle s'écrit pour elle même est parfois incompréhensible tellement les abréviations ne font pas de sens. Nous finissons toutefois par nous habituer, mais je devais le lire rapidement afin de comprendre ce qu'elle voulait dire. J'ai vraiment apprécié le personnage de Kaitlin. Toutefois celui de Sky m'irritait au plus haut point. Plus Kaitlin trouvait Austin attirant plus moi-même je le trouvais attirant. La fin du roman nous donne vraiment l’envie de lire le second, donc j'ai très hâte de voir se qui s'y produira.

Kaitlin is a Hollywood heart throb. Teens across the country wish they could be her, but she just wishes she could take a break from the Hollywood life. Kaitlin and her friends concoct a scheme, where she will attend a private school as someone else. However, like with other novels/stories about assumed identities, Kaitlin finds true connections, but they are all built on a lie.
Will Kaitlin want to return to her old life? Will she get to keep the wonderful people from her fake life?
This was standard fluffy fake identity novel and contains everything you expect. The main character is annoying, but she would fit right in on the ABC Family line-up.
