Product Description

Product Description

Sixteen-year-old Jade longs to be famous and gets her chance when she appears on a dating show and wins. Suddenly Jade and her 'date' Rupert are celebrities and they love it. Jade's boyfriend Adam hates what she is doing and ends their relationship, but Jade still thinks that fame is worth it. When the fuss begins to die down Rupert suggests he and Jade get engaged to whip up new press attention. Jade goes along with this until she begins to see the situation for what it is. She has to face up to the difference between dream and reality and see if she can put things right with Adam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, 22 Oct 2004
This is a funny, sweet book, almost as good as the other Pete Johnson book 'Faking It' but not quite. It tells the story of Jade (well, Jennifer), who doesn't care about school because she's desperate to get on TV. She's perfectly happy with her boyfriend Adam, but still longs for glitz and glamour - which she gets when she stars in a TV dating show. Unfortunately, the good-looking Mr Perfect who picks her on the show isn't as good as he seems, and Adam isn't at all pleased. Jade has to learn what the price of her newfound fame is. I enjoyed this book and thought Jade's 'I'd rather be famous' attitude was very funny. I reccomend this book to pretty much anyone.
