Princess of Gossip


by Sabrina Bryan & Julia DeVillers
*****
Avery is stressed! She'd just moved to L.A., and she's a total nobody with no friends. All her friends back home are not texting, chatting, or calling her. Life in L.A.'s really boring-until now! Avery learns about a talented singer named Marisa, and she starts a blog in MySpace for Marisa and people love it! People are visiting Marisa's page and leaving positive comments! And BAM! Avery is mistaken for Marisa's assistant, and is invited to a launch party with all the famous celebrities! There, she snaps a photo of two celebrities as a couple! Avery sees this as juicy gossip, and makes a gossip blog, her identity shown as the Princess of Gossip. People reads this gossip blog, and it's a huge hit! Suddenly, Avery is super famous, and is determined as a music industry insider by the people. 

Avery gets free dresses, phone, makeup, spa gift certificates, chocolate... everything, because of her Princess of Gossip blog! And then, the hot nephew of one of the famous designers asks Avery out because she was wearing his uncle's clothes, and Avery falls for it! She hosts a beach party using the gift certificate delivered to her to host a beach party at a luxury hotel, when the hotel managers and the officers come over to find the Princess of Gossip, to see a teenage party! Then the Princess of Gossip's identity is revealed! Uh-oh. Avery is in major trouble, and to make it worse, the photos and the gossip she had written was a fauxmance-meaning, fake romance! It was all fake! Avery is hated from many people, but she saves her reputation by Marisa's blog! At a on-line party Avery made to apologize to people, Marisa comes and announces that the blog made fourteen hundred dollars for charity! Avery is saved!

The best part of this book was at the on-line party, when Marisa came as a surprise and gave the party her private concert! It would be so awesome to have a singer give a concert at your party! And, I liked it because Avery has a happy ending! She is saved by Marisa, who comes up to the stage and announces the news. Then the concert begins, and all the avatars that represented the people at the party, started going wild! The tech part was cool too, because they used this satellite connection for Marisa to go to the party herself, using her picture. It would be cool to have a on-line party like Avery did.

Hyun Jin, what a great idea about an on line party. I was afraid this book might get dark as Avery may not handle the on line confusion very well.

Nice job on this post, Hyun Jin. Don't feel you have to tell so much on the first part, but you certainly may, if you want to.

This sounds like a really good book Hyun Jin. Now I know what i'm gonna try to find in the library! :) It sounds very interesting and Avery starting her own blog but in the end apologizing is good.
