"Camden comes to life on the page in this engaging and fun story of friendship and celebrities... with characters so realistic you feel you might bump into them at Camden Town tube!" --Chicklish

Format:Paperback
I brought this and finished it within the same day! As are all of Hilary Freeman's books, it was interesting and exciting. The storyline is different to her other books, and I think it was a bit more light-hearted. The storyline is not a complex one, but enjoyable none the less. I'm 13 years old, but I would recommend this to ages 11+.
Format:Paperback
I loved this book and read it in one sitting. It's funny and more light-hearted than the other book I've read by this author, Don't Ask. The Celeb Next Door also tackles big issues and is true to life, with some great insights into what it's like to be nervous around boys, or embarrased by your family, or just obsessed with music, but has more laugh-out-loud moments. It also made me want to move to Camden, like NOW! Can't wait for the next one in the series.
Format:Paperback
The Celeb Next Door is the first Hilary Freeman book I've read, and I think it was a great place to start. It's the launch title for her brand new Camden Town Tales series, and is a fast-paced, east to read story perfect for teenage girls. It's chock-full of romance, friendship and celebrities, and paints a brilliant picture of London. I for one have never been to Camden, but now I want to - the markets sound amazing!
Each character in The Celeb Next Door is realistic and likeable, and generally behave as teenagers do. I personally couldn't identify with the constant celeb spotting that Rosie, Sky and Vix make a bit of a hobby, but that's because I've never lived in a star-studded area. I imagine it's a lot of fun though, like Rosie learns, status isn't everything!
Music plays a big part in this book, as the drummer from a popular band movies in next door to Rosie. Being a music fan myself, I loved this aspect of the book - how cool would it be to get an insider look into band goings on?! Of course, the fact that Rufus has a cute younger brother, Max, is pretty much all that's on Rosie's mind. They're so well suited, and go through all the usual problems and dilemmas teenagers are hit with. I completely believed in them and their down-to-earth personalities, and Freeman has a great style when it comes to writing teen behaviour.
Fans of Cathy Hopkins' Million Dollar Mates series will love this, as well those who like Cathy Cassidy's various girly offerings. I'm really looking forward to the next Camden Town Tales book, Stuck On Me, and I hope it's as good as this one. Fingers crossed there isn't long to wait!
3.5/5

I need two books a year from this author if she's to take care of my teenage goddaughter's Christmases AND birthdays - a tall order I appreciate. Read more
