First, let me say I am soooooo late to the party on this. I totally brain farted and forgot to set this post to go up yesterday, so my sincerest apologies to Veronica. But eeeeek! So excited!
About the book:
Sixteen-year-old
Andi is tired of being a second-class sibling to perfect sister Laina. The only
thing Andi’s sure she has going for her is her awesome hair. And even that is
eclipsed by Laina's perfect everything else.
When
Andi’s crush asks her to fix him up with Laina, Andi decides enough is
enough, and devises a twelve-step program to wrangle the
spotlight away from Laina and get the guy.
Step
1: Admit she’s powerless to change her perfect sister, and accept that her life
really, really sucks.
Step 4:
Make a list of her good qualities. She MUST have more than just great
hair, right?
Step 7:
Demand attention for more than just the way she screws things up.
When
a stolen kiss from her crush ends in disaster, Andi realizes that her
twelve-step program isn’t working. Her prince isn’t as charming as she'd hoped,
and the spotlight she’s been trying to steal isn’t the one she wants.
As
Laina’s flawless façade begins to crumble, the sisters work together to find a
spotlight big enough for both to shine.
