   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  JRlibrary | Jan 6, 2014 |    ) BeckyGandee | Dec 22, 2013 | This book includes some of the same characters from the previous book by Marni Bates, Awkward but it’s not a sequel at all; one doesn’t need any familiarity with that book to enjoy this one. Holly Dayton, orphaned while still an infant, was brought up by her grandpa, who proposed a Christmas cruise to the Mexican Riviera in celebration of his mid-December 75th birthday and Holly’s upcoming 18th birthday on the day after Christmas. Unfortunately, he also invited his daughter and her family. Aunt Jessica and the two evil girl cousins, Allison and Claire, are a too-perfect imitation of Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters, but the book is so funny, I overlooked that particular cardboardy aspect. On the cruise, the hottest guy aboard turns out to be Dominic Wyatt, the drummer for the boy band ReadySet, who is seeking some downtime from the pressure of work and fans. But unfortunately his identity is discovered, and the only way to rescue to the situation is for him to have a “girlfriend” on hand. After a run-in with Holly, in which of course they decide they don’t like each other at all, she agrees to be his “fauxmance.” Although you can guess what happens, it is worth the ride. I loved it, and I think teens will too. There is no sex, but there is bad language; nothing, I can’t imagine, that kids haven’t heard before, however. Evaluation: This book is a riot. If you remember the classic Clark Gable movie, “It Happened One Night,” the plot is somewhat similar, but with the comedic possibilities updated.

HTML:Holly Dayton is about to go way out of her comfort zone. . . Spending Christmas vacation on a cruise with her two cousins from hell isn't Holly's idea of a good time. And when in a moment of seasick-fueled desperation she lurches into an open suite--she's greeted with an eyeful of pepper spray. The culprit? A gorgeous guy calling himself Nick. But when Holly goes to make her exit, she gets the shock of her life: a corridor crammed with screaming teenage fans. Because Nick just happens to be Dominic Wyatt, drummer for ReadySet--one of the hottest bands in America. Suddenly rumors are swirling, and Holly's face is captured on countless phones and plastered all over the Internet. But the band can't risk a scandal destroying their family-friendly image, so Dominic convinces Holly to be his fake girlfriend--just for two weeks. How bad could it be to be fauxmantically involved with one of the cutest rockstars on the planet? Holly's about to find out. . . "Fans of Meg Cabot will find Marni's voice equally charming and endearing."--Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
