Story
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

From Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, comes a witty, charming, and hilariously relatable debut novel about a struggling young actress trying to get ahead - and keep it together - in New York City. It’s January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing "important" work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club....

Publisher's Summary
Authors Emily Franklin and Brendan Halpin—both known for their popular young adult novels—team up to pen this dishy tale of a celebrity fauxmance.
Teen stars Fielding Withers and Charlie Tracker share an onscreen romance as Jenna and Jonah on their hit television show. Even better for fans, Fielding and Charlie are together in real life as well—or at least that’s what everybody believes. When the paparazzi expose the offscreen fling as nothing more than a publicity stunt, Fielding and Charlie disappear to let things cool down. And that’s when things between them genuinely start to heat up.

Narration makes you want to sleep
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No , because the story is just too silly and the narration is as bad .. though I really love Jessica Almasy this book wasn't a good book for her
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would add more depth to it and more on the funny and chemistry between the characters part
What didn’t you like about Jessica Almasy and Andy Paris ’s performance?
they were too slow they put me to sleep most of the time .. I don't listen to them while driving because really I would lose focus , and they are emotionless and didn't feel the characters
Do you think Jenna and Jonah’s Fauxmance needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
no this one is enough because this story is better off this way
Any additional comments?
I really wanted to enjoy this book but I didn't .. what a shame
