Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Holly Hart wants to be a star. She moves to Los Angeles from the small town
of Cedar Junction, only to hear she’s too fat and ugly to be a famous singer.
But when Shell Shocked Records looks past Holly’s plus-size and less-than-graceful-personality
to offer her a recording contract, Holly cannot believe her good fortune. On closer inspection,
however, the record execs want Holly to do all the singing, and a thinner and more beautiful
girl, Lacey, would lip-sync and get all the credit. Holly goes for it because after all, she wanted
to sing.
Contractually bound to secrecy, Holly is more than happy to sit backstage while Lacey shimmies
in the limelight and basks in the fame. Before she knows it, Holly is friends with Serena, the pop-
star daughter of a music-mogul, flirting with an intern, and developing a strange half-friendship
star daughter of a music-mogul, flirting with an intern, and developing a strange half-friendship
with Lacey.
When Grayson Frost, the biggest country star in America, and coincidentally, a former school
bully begins dating Lacey, Holly hopes that he won’t recognize or torment her.
Through a series of embarrassing and weird events, Holly gets to know Grayson and learns that
he is much nicer and more mature than he was four years ago. Holly is horrified when she starts
falling for him. When Grayson admits he fell for Lacey's voice, what is a girl to do when she
can’t legally tell the truth at the moment when the truth matters the most?

Excerpt
January 31st, 8:15am—Homeroom
I’m
one of the unluckiest people I know. I’m the girl who gets a pimple on picture
day or starts her period at a pool party with cute boys. Nothing goes my way,
and I’ve always been okay with that. So when I posted videos of me singing
Carrie Underwood cover songs on YouTube, I didn’t think my luck would suddenly
change.
I’m just so embarrassed! They emailed me
for two weeks, but I kept ignoring them.
The emails sounded so suspicious—was I really supposed to believe I was being
offered a recording contract
through email? I wasn’t going to fall
for another email con artist. My sister still makes fun of me for believing
that the Prince of Aruba was having financial problems. Finally, they asked to
talk to my mom and proved they were actually the head honchos of Shell Shocked
Studios through a video chat session. Before I knew it, Mom bought two plane
tickets to Los Angeles. I’ve never left Iowa before, and now she’s talking
about moving to LA. I could just
die. I really could.
The worst part is the fact that I can’t
really tell anyone about this. I mean, I could,
but I know the kids at school will make fun of me, instead of congratulating
me. None of them would believe that Holly Hart, that girl who always gets in
trouble for writing in her journal during class, would get a record deal. I’m
not even in choir. Whoops, Mrs.
Holland is looking my way.
