Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek.  katsmiao | Oct 23, 2015 |   I am usually a huge fan of YA and Entangled Publishing books, but this one was lukewarm for me. I wish the real Abi Saunders WOULD stand up. Not sure that I really know who she is after reading. At first she's shy, tomboyish, smart: a good girl, lacking a bit of confidence, but an excellent friend and very likable. Then she lands a role doing stunts in a movie and this bratty, whiny, self-involved girl emerges, who can't be bothered to spend time with her friends anymore, because she is so wrapped up in her new friends and new crushes. Ultimately her rose colored glasses come off and she experiences first hand how shallow, self-serving and mean Hollywood can be, when she finds out she was used and abused. There's her "aha" moment and she tries to patch things up with her friends.... The book was ok. A little too predictable and with an unsympathetic main character. I liked how the book flowed and the writing style though, and hope to read more from Sara Hantz.

Abi Saunders might be a kickboxing champion, but when it comes to being the center of attention, she'd rather take a roundhouse kick to the solar plexus any day. So when her trainer convinces her to audition to be the stunt double for hot teen starlet Tilly Watson, Abi is shocked--and a little freaked out--when she gets the job. Being a stunt double is overwhelming, but once the wig and makeup are on, Abi feels like a different person. Tilly Watson, to be exact. And when Tilly's gorgeous boyfriend, Jon, mistakes Abi for the real star, Abi's completely smitten. In fact, she's so in love with her new life, it isn't long before she doesn't have time for her old one. But when the cameras are turned off, will she discover running with the Hollywood A-list isn't quite the glamorous existence she thought it was? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
