Publisher's Summary
Isabelle Scott’s life may not be easy, but she loves it. She is a star swimmer and lifeguard, has great friends, and has been spending the summer with Brayden, a cute surfer—though they’re just friends. But her grandmother, with whom she’s lived since her mother died five years earlier, is declining quickly, and Izzie’s whole world is upended. She’s whisked away from the poor, rough neighborhood where she grew up to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in the exclusive Emerald Cove.
Mirabelle Monroe leads a charmed life: her father is a former baseball star about to run for the United States Senate. She’s popular and beautiful and has a super cute jock boyfriend. But when her cousin, Izzie, comes to live with her family, her well-ordered world starts to unravel. It doesn’t help that Mira’s best friend and queen bee, Savannah, hates Izzie from the start, maybe because Izzie seems to be so close to Savannah’s boyfriend, Brayden. And Mira doesn’t know whether to choose her friends and status at school or her family.
As Izzie and Mira try to navigate their new lives, family secrets are dug up and the girls learn what friends and family truly mean.
Jen Calonita certainly has the inside scoop on young Hollywood. A former senior entertainment editor at Teen People, she has interviewed everyone from Reese Witherspoon to Zac Efron. An entertainment journalist for the past 10 years, she has written for TV Guide, Glamour, and Marie Claire. She lives in New York with her husband, Mike, sons Tyler and Dylan, and their Chihuahua, Captain Jack Sparrow.

"Wish it was the first in a series"
Another one I really enjoyed, a good listen that doesn't need your full attention. I reached the end of the audiobook and was disappointed that it finished - I found myself wishing it was the beginning of a series. Julia Whelan did a great job narrating, really bring the characters alive with her narration.

"Good Book"
I decided to try this book because it was on sale & I don't regret it. Belles was enjoyable to listen to and I got caught up in the characters easily. Interested to see how the series continues.

"Perfect for the CW"
Have you listened to any of Julia Whelan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?Yes, I first heard her narrate "Stay" and I loved her performance. She does a great job in this book also. She definitely adds to the high school melodrama.
Was Belles worth the listening time?It was a nice book. This would be perfect as a CW show. There was definitely a lot of "mean girl" drama which worked well with the story's setting: an opulent high school in the south where the rich kids rule. This is not a complicated tale. Very easy listen.
Any additional comments?I thought I would try this book because it was on sale. It's not a favorite of mine but it was good for what it was.
