关于此电子书
She:
goes to an exclusive stage school
stars in the hit soap opera
gets to kiss Justin de Souza, the hottest actor around
Millions of fans are watching Ruby—and wishing they could be her.
Playing Angel MacFarley on Kensington Heights ought to be a dream come true, but keeping the gig is never simple. Between dodging rumors that the producers want a more glamorous girl and rehearsing lines under the studio lights, Ruby is convinced she is one bad camera angle away from being axed. If only staying in the spotlight were half as easy as playing pretend.
Off the set, things are even messier. Her father has packed his bags for a flat down the road, her mother is fighting back tears over dinner, and her best friend Nydia has a dozen wild schemes to fix everything. Her own parents, though, are not nearly as simple to sort out as a thirty-minute script.
If only they knew that behind the scenes, Ruby's life is falling apart.
Between frantic costume changes, script crises, and family upheaval, surviving thirteen takes serious drama.
- Stage School Rivals: Navigating catty hallway whispers, competitive classmates, and ruthless auditions at Sylvia Lighthouse’s Academy alongside her fiercely loyal best friend Nydia.
- Family Upheaval: The comfortable home life Ruby fought so hard to preserve is shattered.
- Young Romance: Sweating through the dread of an on-camera first kiss with teen heartthrob Justin de Souza, only to find unexpected connection where she least anticipated it.

作者简介
Rowan Coleman, a self-proclaimed soap-opera addict, desperately wanted to attend stage school while growing up and to be-come an actress. Although she decided to pursue a glamorous career in writing instead, she did have the chance to visit the set of a soap opera when researching this book. While she has written five novels for adults, this is her first novel for teens. Rowan Coleman lives in Hert-fordshire, England, with her husband, Erol, and their daughter, Lily.
