Unscripted

The Unfortunately Famous Diaries #1

by Taylor Franklin

Chelsea's life is...well, it's fine. She makes decent grades. James, her cuddly French boyfriend, is at her beck and call. She lives a short drive away from Los Angeles' finest beaches. Fine is enough for Chelsea Jay. But according to her family, fine isn't enough. So when her sister sends an on-the-spot recording of Chelsea to movie producers, things get complicated. Chelsea is cast in a romance movie with the insufferable and arrogant Aaron Shae, Hollywood's Hottest Teen Alive, who wouldn't know love if it gave him its autograph. The two are forced to "pull a Twilight"-fake a relationship to gain publicity that neither of them want. Who's going to believe them, anyway? Chelsea's not Aaron's type. She's not exactly a model, she certainly isn't rich, and she's a little too much for Aaron Shae to handle. So as expected, every fake date makes Chelsea want to barf all over Aaron's Louis Vuitton shoes. But as time goes on, amidst filming, dates with Mr. Filthy Rich, and cat-fights with Aaron's crazy ex-girlfriends, Chelsea slowly starts to become closer to her fake boyfriend and pulled further away from her real one. But she only wants James. She should only want James. She wants nothing to do with this movie or her infuriatingly sexy co-star. Besides, Aaron Shae doesn't want anything to do with her, anyway. Or does he? Well, that definitely wasn't part of the script.

Thanks to her sister (one of my favorite characters btw. Ashley is my queen) our protagonist Chelsea Jay is cast for a romance movie and her co-star is Hollywood's Hottest Teen Alive aka Aaron Shae. Well, he also happens to be Hollywood's Biggest Jerk Alive. They end up being forced to fake a relationship which is kind of problematic since they despise each other. Or do they?

This book is pretty much like my favorite kind of cupcake.
First, we have the dough. Sweet and super fluffy, with a bunch of raspberries inside to make sure the taste isn't boring and to make it memorable.
Then there is exactly the right amount of buttercream frosting. Not too much - that way you would never be able to eat the whole thing. But just enough to make you sigh with a happy smile on your face when the sweet deliciousness fills your mouth.
And lastly, there are the sprinkles on top, to add a little drama to the story. Again, just the right amount.
So if you're looking for a swoon-worthy romance that makes you crack up from time to time: this is the book for you!
