Audience and Purpose: The audience and purpose of this book is to show teenage girls the pressure and challenges come with being famous, along with outrageous expectations. The story is written in first person coming from a famous teenager. Though Sam is a celebrity she's extremely relatable as she struggles with anxiety,presure,stress common in teenage girls. The author shows teenagers no one's life is perfect.

CONFLICT:The major conflict in this book right now is character vs society.Samantha is really famous because she saved the president last year and she can't catch a break from the outrageous paparazzi.Samantha says on pg.86,"I just can't get away from the paparazzi.I hate how society is nowadays and how I can't even be a normal teenager."This evidence shows Samantha's view on society,and problems it has created.

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS:Theresa is the main side character.Samantha is a regular teen girl who's struggling at home. Theresa who's Samantha's caretaker(because her parents are never home)is"just like a second mom". Samantha says,"Theresa is literally my second mom because my real mom is never home.It also feels like she's my first mom at times."(p.25) This evidence shows Theresa's impact on Samantha's life.

Finished. I was literally so annoyed by the plot. The whole plot was Samantha trying to decide if she was ready to have sex with David. (SPOILERS: she decided she wasn’t ready but ended up doing it anyway) I’m sorry what?? Girlie, you’re 16! The first book was so good, with an ACTUAL PLOT, meanwhile this one was just a train wreck. 1⭐️

Very disappointed in this…I really thought she wasn’t going to do it, especially after she decided she wasn’t ready! Apparently not…

Let’s see how this train wreck ends😭✋🏼
