Synopsis

After breaking up with her bad-news boyfriend, Reagan O'Neill is ready to leave her rebellious ways behind. . . and her best friend, country superstar Lilah Montgomery, is nursing a broken heart of her own. Fortunately, Lilah's 24-city tour is about to kick off, offering a perfect opportunity for a girls-only summer of break-up ballads and healing hearts. But when Matt Finch joins the tour as its opening act, his boy-next-door charm proves difficult for Reagan to resist, despite her vow to live a drama-free existence. This summer, Reagan and Lilah will navigate the ups and downs of fame and friendship as they come to see that giving your heart to the right person is always a risk worth taking. A fresh new voice in contemporary romance, Emery Lord's gorgeous writing hits all the right notes.

Reviews

Imagine what it’s like to be the best friend of a high-school age Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus. That is Reagan’s reality as she embarks on a summer tour with Lilah “Dee” Montgomery all around the country to sold-out concerts of adoring fans. Readers will get a kick out of the backstage tension, as Dee’s PR machine tries to deal with doctored leaked photos of the star and spin the public image of their media darling. Reagan is Dee’s confidant and moral support, but the girls’ friendship is far from one-sided. Dee has long supported Reagan and helped soften the blows from her friend’s troubled past. As Reagan narrates, her sharp-edged tone energizes the narrative and draws in the reader. She gradually reveals the pain and loss she has endured and is upfront about her bad choices and her desire to develop a stronger self-image. Can she trust Matt, the heartthrob opener vocalist who refuses to be put off by her brusqueness? Lord’s debut provides an insightful take on friendship, romance, and celebrity culture. Grades 7-10. --Anne O'Malley
