Is She Over Him?

The book Girls on Film: An A-List Novel by Zoey Dean is a fiction book and is the second book in the A-List series. The theme of this book is girls in a rich high school just trying to get by life and keep their status high. This book is extremely entertaining and witty. This book is about Anna Percy who has just moved to Los Angles to live with her famous father for the rest of the year in her senior year of high school. Anna is the nice girl but has had some hardships on the way and is now trying to get over her broken heart from a guy named Ben. The group of friends Anna has aquired goes up to a spa for the weekend to do a school project and Anna gets a little friendlier with her friend Adam but she still can't stop herself from thinking of Ben. She wonders if she still wants him or has she finally moved on and developed a crush on Adam. Finally when she thinks she's through with him Ben shows up at the spa to talk to Anna and try to get her back. Only time will tell if they get back together. This book was very entertaining and kept me interested to see what happened next. I enjoy reading books about rich, spoiled, teenage girls who are trying to get by life and not embarrass themselves. This book was exactly that. I would read this book again and I plan on reading the next book in the series. This is one of those books where you can't relate to the lifestyles but you can still relate to the characters. By the end of the story you feel like you are the friends and enemies of these girls and you were there for all the drama. The A-List series books are very enjoyable books for girls that are into celebrities and rich people who also enjoy a snobby girl involved in the drama. If you watch shows like Laguna Beach and the O.C. you will enjoy this book. It's almost a mix of those shows put in to words with lots of irony mixed in.

A teen book

This book is a sequel to the first Zoey Dean book the A-List. This book is much better because you can see a whole new side of Anny Percey and you get to experience what its like being in the shoes of the rich kids.. This book is based on Anna and whether she wants to be Adam or Ben's girlfriend. She knows who she wants to be but cant decide if that really is the best choice. Adam is the "good" guy, he gets good grades and is a nice guy. Ben is more hot, sexy, and does crazy things but still does well in school. An unexpecting twist occurs that will make any advocate teen reader want to keep turning the page again and again.

SO MUCH BETTER THAN GOSSIP GIRL!!!

I was quite a fan of the GG bks, but I've found a new love and it's THE A LIST books. GIRLS ON FILM was even better than the first book. It's well written and treats readers as if they have a functional brain. Plus Anna Percy is a huge root-for and there really isn't anyone to root for in the GG series. The wish list stuff (designer this and that) is fun to read about, but it's the characters that really grab me. In this book you learn a lot more about all the main characters, and the ending is incredibly romantic! I can't wait to get my hands on book 3. And 4 and 5 and more... This is the closest pop fiction to real lit I've ever read. Zoey Dean is a fabulous author and I just loved this book!!!

Must Read

A fantastic follow up to A-LIST, GIRLS ON FILM provides a provocative view of the glitz and sometimes unglamour of Hollywood. If you liked Rikki Lee Travolta's book MY FRACTURED LIFE about young adult and teen misadventures in Hollywood then GIRLS ON FILM should be just as fun for you. They go well together and speak to our generation. Thumbs up!

BEST BEACH READ EVER!!!

If you want the best book you can pack to take along on vacation, this is it. I'd call it pop fiction for girls with a functional brain. Anna, the heroine of this series is smart and literate -- definitely not an airhead. But since she's arrived in Beverly Hills from her rich New York prep school life, things haven't gone smoothly. She is determined to break out of her "good girl" box, which means, guys, adventures and did I mention guys? There's a great combo of reality (the kids having sex, doing drugs, being dysfunctional) and fantasy (the kids having great sex with hot guys, money to burn and every top label everything of your dreams). I like GOSSIP GIRL, but in my opinion this is a vastly superior series. Not only is it hilarious, you can actually root for Anna, and you won't regret it the morning. I heard Zoey Dean is a grad student at UCLA who actually lived a lot of what is in this series. It certainly reads like an inside job!! This is the best!!!!
