Another great read from Elizabeth Scott. A lot of the themes and story lines in the book are taken from some pop culture references, and I think that makes the book relevant to today's teens, as well as entertaining. Hannah is a 17-year old student who is dealing with a broken family, but the difference is that her mom is a former small-bit actress from a once semi-famous sitcom, and her dad is an aging Hefner-like playboy who is shooting a reality TV show. Hannah has learned to cope with her notoriety by becoming invisible. She works along side two guys - one who she is convinced is the love of her life, and the other annoys her to no end. Her mom also annoys her because she is milking all the fame she can get by hosting online chats wearing next to nothing. Hannah doesn't really have friends other than Teagan, who is 19 and home from college. Although the book is super short, you still get a chance to connect with Hannah and all that makes up her life. There are some very poignant moments and fans of Dessen and other Scott books will definitely enjoy this read.
