Famous For Thirty Seconds (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I LOVED this book. I bought the first one after reading the first two pages, and I was back at the book store to buy the next two in the series the next day. I've probably read each book three times. In this book, Brittany is the Commercial Queen. When she walks into auditions, girls run out crying. Commercials are her life, she spends more time acting than living. So that's why she feels like her life is over when she has to go to Hong Kong for a year. One year later, Brittany is back, and ready to pick up where she left off. But it seems she isn't a cute kid with just the right look for TV anymore, she's just another pretty face. This book taught me a lot about how commercial casting works, because I want to be an actress. But it's not all about acting. It's about boys, friendship, and art. And figuring out that being Famous For Thirty Seconds isn't all that important. You should definitely read this book, and the others in the series: Picture Perfect (#2) and Dramatic Pause (#3) "Juicy and thoughtful . . . a fabulous, addictive read." Lauren Myracle, bestselling author of TTYLThe first in a fresh new M!X series about girls involved in the cutthroat world of modeling, acting and commercial castings!Brittany Rush is the face of Gotta Have It candy bars, the hands of Write On pencils, the hair of Knot Me Not detangle spray and the voice of Mom, It's Delicious! soups. Brittany has been appearing in commercials and print ads since her backside was the official derriere of Simply Dry Diapers. The queen of callbacks, she is distraught when her family moves to Hong Kong for a year, forcing her to be an anonymous kid in a foreign country. When she (finally!) returns stateside, she's eager to resume her steady diet of go-sees, auditions, callbacks, and bookings in NYC. But to her shock, Brittany realizes that in the year that she was gone, she lost her title as the unconquerable cute kid: Now she's just one of the many pretty girls waiting her turn. Will Brittany be able to steal back her spotlight? Or will she discover there's more to life than being a commercial success?
