BLURB
Meet Oakley Ford-teen celebrity, renowned pop star, child of famous movie stars, hottie with millions of fangirls… and restless troublemaker. On the surface he has it all, but with his home life disintegrating, his music well suddenly running dry, and the tabloids having a field day over his outrageous exploits, Oakley's team decides it's time for an intervention. The result: an image overhaul, complete with a fake girlfriend meant to show the world he's settled down.
Enter seventeen-year-old Vaughn Bennett-devoted sister, part-time waitress, the definition of "normal." Under ordinary circumstances she'd never have taken this gig, but with her family strapped for cash, she doesn't have much of a choice. And for the money Oakley's team is paying her, she figures she can put up with outlandish Hollywood parties and a team of publicists watching her every move. So what if she thinks Oakley's a shallow, self-centered jerk? It's not like they're going to fall for each other in real life…right?

MY REVIEW
When
It’s Real is a Young Adult Contemporary Romance by dynamic author duo Erin Watt. Oakley & Vaughn are just a couple of
California kids – who have problems that need solving in their worlds where
they’ve had to grow up way to fast. Who would
have guessed that this bad-boy rocker & little miss normal could actually be
each other’s perfect solution.
Told in
first person, from dual perspectives, this romance is fun, witty, sarcastic,
will they, won’t they, sweet, sexy, big -nothing's beyond your reach- dream
making magic, all with a Hollywood scandalous twist. Super heartfelt emotions
running throughout, these characters are mature beyond their years in so many
ways; I almost forgot how young they really are. Full of great unfiltered, honest dialog & real life themes of
‘life is hard, but together we can conquer the world’ makes you feel good enough to
“want a messy, exciting, happy, sad, emotion-filled, loud life…”
“want a messy, exciting, happy, sad, emotion-filled, loud life…”
I
haven’t read YA in a while & I’ve been missing out! I really enjoyed this real life feel-good, funny, sweet
& sexy book!
“Stop being afraid of life. Go out and let
love take you on a journey”
READ IT!!!!
