This was really a fun read. Tired of his only daughter's crazy celebrity antics, Lexington
Larrabee's father has just sentenced her to the worst punishment ever-
she has to work a new minimum-wage job every week. Her days now consist
of things like working in a taco joint and delivering flowers. When
she tries to run off with her friends to Las Vegas, she finds that her
father is several steps ahead of her and has cut off her credit cards
and transportation. Not only is that bad, but if she doesn't
follow-through with the jobs, she will not receive her trust fund. So
every week, she begrudgingly enters a new position in the workforce and
reports what she learns to her father's newest intern, Luke. I have to
say, I really enjoyed this book. It was a little cheesy, but that is
what I expected. I liked that Brody made
a point to answer questions like 'why can't Lexi just hop in the limo
or get on a private jet?' or 'why doesn't she just sneak away from the
job?' I didn't notice any glaring plot holes which was really nice.
This isn't a complex read, but it was enjoyable. I couldn't help
laughing at the crazy things Lexi tries to get away with. It had many
elements that weren't so original (for instance, there were many
similarities to Hilary and Haylie Duff's Material Girls) but when I expect that from a novel, it doesn't bother me. I think that fans of books such as Confessions of Teenage Starlet and Secrets of My Hollywood Life will enjoy this book (and if you enjoyed 52 Reason pick up these two books). And if you aren't into girly books about celebrities, I would suggest staying away from this one.
Happy Reading!

I am a reader, I feel like I always have been. I am constantly surrounded by books in both my personal and professional worlds. I have read excessively since the second grade. I have attempted, again and again, to keep a list of the books I've read and how I felt about them but so far have been unsuccessful. This is an attempt to keep track of the books I'm reading, and my thoughts about them. My goal is to publish at least one review a week (no promises though). Wish me luck!
