Reading Response - Outside Reading

      The book that I've been reading is Secrets of My Hollywood Life by Jen Calonita. My main question as I'm reading this is basically, what's going to happen as a result of the plan that Kaitlin has concocted. So far as I've been reading, I understand why she created this plan. I've also seen how, since Kaitlin is a big Hollywood star, her life is different from the typical teen. These observations all lead to this plan, which is basically her going into a regular high school, in disguise, and being a regular teen. As far as I've read, this plan is very humorous while at the same time, it leaves you wondering how long she can keep this facade up. This plan isn't as easy as it sounds though. She has this typical teen life, which involves school, the work that goes along with school, and also the people who she associates with at school.  She also has her normal, paparazzi infested life. Full of memorizing scripts, attending events, and trying to control the rumors circulating America about her. Sound easy? Not at all.

     On the other hand, I've have really enjoyed this book so far. It's got everything that I enjoy, when reading a book. There are plenty of amusing moments, there's just the right involvement of a lacrosse player, and there's the reality of the story to where you can kind of picture it happening. It's also a series which is always a good thing. Another thing I also like about this book, is the way that the author writes. It's kind of fluent in involving a humungous amount of events, without overwhelming the reader.
