Becoming a professional photographer had always been Sadie's dream. But she never imagined that she would achieve that goal by becoming a member of the paparazzi. She spends her days and nights tracking the rich and famous, hoping to get that One Big Shot. But upon meeting Ethan -- one of Hollywood's hottest and hunkiest stars-her life screeches to a sudden halt.
Not only does she find herself unable to take the photo, but also she begins to question everything she's doing with her life. Accidental It Girl is Sadie's story of following her her dream until it leads her over a line she'd vowed she'd never cross-and the fallout of that decision. And, it's about how making a series of seemingly safe compromises, can lead to selling out not only the deeply held principles, but also selling yourself out.
It's been awhile since I've read something that made me laugh out loud, but this book did on more then one occasion. I really enjoyed the antics of Sadie, Ethan, Paige, Brooke, and Luke. The characters were witty and real, the storyline well written and kept me entertained, and wondering what could happen next.
Sadie’s mother, Paige, mother is something else, it makes it easy to see how Sadie would come by the same personality:
"At my high school graduation she spilled, "I don't know that I ever really loved your father" as casually as a normal person might say, "I've never been fond of mayonnaise."
Through the book she starts of many times with "Hello my name is Sadie Price and people hate me" but it never gets old because it's always followed by something funny. My favorite quote from this book:
"My chest and ass are falling to earth faster than Brittany's career."
I laughed so hard I almost cried. another that caused me to stop and wipe my eyes:
"Puberty was unkind to me. My breasts and hips emerged long before my upward growth spurt, so I resembled a lumpy apple for the first gruesome year of high school."The book is full of hilarity. If you need a good cheer up -- or just a good book -- you should definitely read Accidental It Girl. -----------------------------
