Ginger Rue perfectly conveys all feelings of Emily, the main character of the novel "Brand - new Emily".Emily is a new girl in the school and girls named "Daises" are bulling her. But later she finds out that popular rock-star Colby Summers is not 17 years old teenager. Because it will totally ruin his life, he ask Emily don't tell anyone. If she will keep his secret, he will help with her popularity in the school.When I am reading this book I can understand each character of this book, what they think, that they feel, what they doing. A really interesting thing about this book is it gives a lot of information and details about the field of public relations and how celebrities and products are advertised and hyped. But if you pick up this book hoping to read some inside scoop on your real-life fave celeb, forget about it. When I'm reading this book, I can feel everything that Emily feels. This book is easy to read, but the problem of this book is that you can understand what will be next, even if you are reading this book for the first time. That's why I put 4 stars of 5. This book was pretty cute. It definitely kept my interest, but I still found it to be too predictable and too much like the movie "Mean Girls". I also found it unrealistic for kids to be this manipulative and mean. Middle school kids are mean, but not this mean (at least in my experience, and I was bullied pretty badly in middle school.) I wouldn't let my middle school kids read this book because it encouraged behavior that is inappropriate for such young kids (dating and kissing).
What do You think about Brand-New Emily (2010)?
The fluffiness, the fluffiest YA read of the entire year! I really, really enjoyed this book.
