Hot Mess: Summer in the City
Hot Mess
Shallon Lester, Julie Kraut
EMMA FREEMAN IS waving buh-bye to her standard summer of stationwagoning around the suburbs. This summer she’s heading to the big city. Emma’s totally prepped for days at a fabulous internship and nights of socialite-ing around town. But when you’re 17 and not an heiress, reality is far from pink fizzy drinks and red velvet ropes. As the summer heats up, Emma learns that glamour is hard to come by when your only friend is too boy-crazy to hang, your budget is more H&M than D&G, and you spend 8 hours a day working for a man who proves that the devil wears Dockers too. Add one little white lie told to one very hot coworker and a roommate who makes Paris Hilton look junior varsity, and this summer in the city is starting to turn into one hot mess.

Emma Freeman is 18 and spending her summer with her best friend in New York City. All Emma wants is to be independent and to meet the perfect guy. She goes to New York to spend the summer doing an internship for an amazing company, but she finds out that the company isn't as cool as she thought it would be, and her boss is definitly below loser status. So she tells herself that she just has to endure the horrible job even if she isn't getting paid for the whole summer. This book is a girly book, but it holds its own in entertainment.

Can you think of a better place to spend summer than New York!? Especially, after a bad break-up and fatal outdoor camp plans! Emma Freeman and Rachel Wolfe decide that at 18 its time to have the holiday of their lives. They agree to become independent, responsible and find work for a whole summer& at least, thats what they were planning on doing. With cash on hand how could the girls not have fun, blow the budget, get totally drunk and meet some super sexy new boys. Though, not everything always goes to plan.
