LitPick Review
Mallory's life feels like it should be a TV show: her
mother's an actress on a popular soap opera and her
boyfriend won't break up with his girlfriend. Mallory
needs less drama in her life, not more. So when she writes
her own soap opera, entitled Likely Story, she wants it to
be about real people with real problems. However, this
seems to cause more catastrophes. Her mother is now
jealous, she needs to get her best friend the lead on the
show, and she thinks she might be falling for the lead
male actor. What's a girl to do?
Opinion:
The best way I can describe this book is that it was
okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. The plot
was interesting; not many normal teenagers have a semi-
famous mother, although this made it slightly hard to
relate to Mallory. She is a likable character, though her
moral compass might be spinning in the wrong direction.
For example, she has a boyfriend that already has a
girlfriend, which makes me think that she doesn't respect
herself. However, this book is part of a series, so
hopefully the rest will be better.
