About the Book
Landry Albright gets pushed into trying out for the American Ingénue reality show modeling competition with her two best friends. She doesn't think she stands a chance, but she advances to the next level in the competition and her friends ignore her when they get cut.
Enter the gorgeous Devon, who also makes the first cut and includes Landry in her clique. Devon becomes the perfect best friend, but can their friendship survive the competition?
Landry hopes her big break could come at any moment, but soon sees there's much more to modeling than just getting your hair done and looking pretty. She begins missing out on being with new friends like Ashanti, a girl who truly has Landry's back. Landry also has the chance to have a boyfriend when she meets a boy named Vladi from another school.
Part of Landry wants to be famous (and have her hair look good for once), but part of her just wants to be accepted. She learns about friendships, being true to yourself, and that a good hair conditioner doesn't hurt.

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "My high school and middle school daughters read this and so did I. We loved it. I enjoyed the positive messages while the girls could relate to some of the situations the main character ends up in. Well done." - Holly L Denler
- "This was a fun read that brought me back to middle school years. Love it and can't wait for my nieces to be old enough to read it!" - Julie Stewart
- "Krysten Lindsay Hager understands what it means to be a teen today, and she writes with an authentic voice. Landry, the main character, is funny, lively, and very real. Readers will relate to her struggles with friends and family, self-esteem and self-discovery, boys and school and life in general. It's fun to read about Landry's blossoming modeling career and the changes it brings.[...]" - Diana (Amazon)
- "This was a light read that I think a lot of middle school readers can identify with--the struggle to fit in, the cliques, the boy-crazy friends, the lack of confidence by several of the characters in the book. There was a good message here, that one shouldn't limit themselves to just one or two friends, but look for something redeeming in all different groups of friends.[...]" - S. J. Henderson
- "I enjoyed reading this book. Characters are well developed and the story is interesting and entertaining.[...]" - kevmed (Amazon)
