Bex Factor
Bex, odkąd pamięta, zawsze marzyła o sławie i karierze piosenkarki. Kiedy pewnego dnia udaje jej się dostać na casting do popularnego telewizyjnego show, głęboko wierzy, że jej marzenia wreszcie się spełnią, a życie zupełnie zmieni. Jak to jednak często bywa, los płata jej figla. Jurorzy zamiast niej wybierają do programu Matthew, niepozornego i nieśmiałego gitarzystę, którego poprosiła, żeby akompaniował jej podczas występu. Czy Bex uda się schować dumę do kieszeni i namówić Matthew, żeby podjął wyzwanie? Sprawy komplikują się jeszcze bardziej, kiedy okazuje się, że to na barki Bex spadną wszystkie kłopoty rodzinne Matthew. A trochę ich jest.

It's a nice quick read. If you're into music and like watching shows like the X factor and American Idol, this book is made for you. Of course it opens your eyes to how much people fake things to be able to achieve fame and an amazing career. The book has a cute ending so if you at any time feel like giving up, don't.
