Young Adult
The bestselling authors of The Nanny Diaries introduce a new
heroine to root for: Jesse O'Rourke, coffee barista, high
school senior, and unwitting reality TV star. Imagine there
was never a Laguna Beach, a Newport Harbor, the shimmering
Hills. Imagine that your hometown-your school-is the first
place XTV descends to set up cameras. Now imagine they've
trained them on you. When Jesse O'Rourke gets picked for a
"documentary" being filmed at her school in the Hamptons
she's tempted to turn down the offer. But there's a tuition
check attached to being on the show, and Jesse needs the
cash so she can be the first in her family to attend
college. All she has to do is trade her best friend for the
glam clique she's studiously avoided, her privacy for a 24/7
mike, and her sense of right and wrong for "what sells on
camera." . . . At least there's one bright spot in the train
wreck that is her suddenly public senior year: Jesse's crush
has also made the cast. As the producers manipulate the
lives of their "characters" to heighten the drama, and US
Weekly covers become a regular occurrence for Jesse, she
must struggle to remember one thing: the difference between
real and the real real.
