How to Be Almost Famous in Ten Days by Kathleen S. Allen @kathleea #review


 

 

 

Cassie Cee feels invisible, has no self esteem and is her worst critic. I felt so bad for her. She has a Mom who is never around and that broke my heart. Her best friend Rachel is what Cassie considers her opposite. She thinks Rachel is cute, fashion savvy and the most popular girl ever. When Cassie buys a book in a secondhand bookstore she decides she will follow it as a summer project. What happens is full of teen angst and drama. 

 

Rachel makes a date with Blake, Brad, Bob and OH whatever his name is. She cracked me up with her disregard for her date. Every time she turned around she called him another B name. It was hilarious!

 

Rachel’s brother Chuck and his partner Watson help Cassie get her summer project off the ground and help themselves too.

 

Overall it is a cute book that will appeal to a huge demographic

Synopsis:

Seventeen-year-old Cassie Cee feels invisible because she’s a double-digit size. She finds a book in a secondhand bookstore that she hopes will change her life. Her best friend’s brother wants to make vlogs about how she is following the ten rules she found in the book, why she is doing it, and how she feels about being invisible for his school project. She agrees, but only if he promises no one but his college advisor will see the vlogs. He promises, but a friend of his posts them online and they go viral. When one of the “famous rules” puts her best friend, Rachel in a dangerous situation, Cassie makes one last vlog and Chuck posts it online. But emails begin arriving from other girls who have felt invisible, and she realizes she has to own up to being “the real Cassie Cee.”

 
 
 
AUTHOR BIO
 

 
 
Kathleen has been writing since she was eight years old when she self-published her first book. Okay, she hand-copied her poems onto plain white paper, paper punched three holes in the sides, made an orange and blue “book jacket” and threaded red ribbon through the holes that she tied with a bow. Ta Dah! Her first book! She’s been writing ever since. She writes in different genres but YA is her favorite.
