Summary:
Cecily feels like she has it all: great best friends, the beginnings of a career as a model/actress, and she’s dating her favorite singer, Andrew Holiday. Then Cecily’s best friend Lila begins to ditch her every time Lila’s boyfriend calls. Cecily feels lost, but she and Andrew begin connecting more and she’s never been in a relationship where she felt so understood. Andrew even begins to confide in her about his anxiety. Soon Cecily experiences her own anxiety on a magazine photo shoot, but she manages to impress the magazine staff. Just when it seems like all her dreams are coming true, everything comes crashing down when a photo of Andrew with another girl appears online. He swears nothing happened, but Cecily is crushed. She feels like she’s lost two of the people closest to her. Was her perfect relationship real or was she in over her head?
Summary:
Cecily has always had a huge crush on singer Andrew Holiday and she wants to be an actress, so she tags along when her friend auditions for his new video. However, the director isn’t looking for an actress, but rather the girl next door—and so is Andrew. Cecily gets a part in the video and all of Andrew’s attention on the set. Her friend begins to see red and Cecily’s boyfriend is seeing green—as in major jealousy. A misunderstanding leaves Cecily and her boyfriend on the outs and Andrew hopes to pick up the pieces as he’s looking for someone more stable in his life than the models he’s dated. Soon Cecily begins to realize Andrew understands her more than her small-town boyfriend—but can her perfect love match really be her favorite rock star?

taking in all the sites. As I walked into the hotel I felt a new air of
confidence. Instead of just reading about someone going out with a pop star to
some fabulous rooftop hotel restaurant and being in the big city, I was living
it. This was my life and not some YA book heroine’s. Tomorrow I was off on a
modeling shoot. I was living a dream and proving how I was ready for a big
life. This was my destiny. I could do this.
off in my brain saying, no, I could not do this. What was I thinking? Me,
model? That’s where people take photos of you for the sole purpose of other
people looking at them, which encouraged judgement and evil comments. People don’t
just keep those comments to themselves anymore. Oh no, they grab their phone or
laptop or whatever device helps them spew out unhelpful and cruel comments on
people’s appearances online for all the world to see.
sheets I was wrapped in. Why did I ever
think I was up for this? Those strangers online would destroy me within
seconds. Girls like Harlow who were born with an undeniable beauty could do
stuff like this and even then, I had seen strangers criticize her online when
she posted selfies.
two slices of toast and then my stomach did a weird flipping thing. Oh no, not
today. Looking over at the clock I realized it was almost time for us to leave.
Come on, stomach. You’re fine. Just relax and…nope, time to hit the bathroom.
Why can’t I just be a big girl and go to this stupid shoot which most girls
would kill to do without my stomach freaking out?
