Light and fluffy.

She's got some major issues with her family, this white boy wanna be rapper that won't leave her alone and then a roommate from hell who just so happens to be one of the IT girls in Hollywood. Seeing all of these things fix themselves (with a lot of help from her too) made for an interesting read. This book showed me just how different my 310 is from Eva's and I'm okay with that because in my 310, I know who my friends are and my family isn't afraid to claim me as one of their own and I'm glad for it.
Over the course of the book, Eva comes into her own without completely selling her soul to the devil and that's saying something. I ended up liking her and what's surprising is that I ended up enjoying the friendship that blossomed between her and her roommates, Jacinda and Coelle. The way that Jacinda and Coelle came to her aid when she needed them made me glad that Eva wasn't completely alone in the world. Her relationship with her Aunt left a lot to be desired since Laurel had Eva doing some weird crap that no Aunt should make their niece do and Eva's mother was a complete mess and well, the bright side of it all was that she met Danny and I heart Danny.
Baseball player from UCLA? Yum! This book has definitely got me all curious about the rest of the books in the series so I'm pretty sure that I'll be checking those out as well. I'm curious to see if we get books from Jacinda and Coelle's POV or if it's more from Eva. I guess, I'll have to find out for myself.
Would I recommend this? Sure, it's not the best book out there but it's good for a couple of hours of entertainment. It's light, fluffy and perfect for a lazy day at the beach...

Some things have happened to Eva Cordes back in her high school that she doesn't want to deal with for the rest of the year. Eva's solution? Graduate a semester early and start a new life in Hollywood with her aunt, Laurel, an agent who represents some of the biggest teen stars. Eva is going to be a star! An added bonus? She might get to find out more about her mother, a model who dumped Eva with her grandparents as a small child.

Life in Hollywood isn't quite as fabulous as Eva thought it would be, though. Sure, she's got her own credit card and a chance to become a star, but she's also rooming with a couple of other teen starlets who could turn out to be her friends--or, more likely, as it would seem at first, enemies. Her has-been mother won't even tell people she is a mother. Eva is being told who she can and cannot date because of their connections in Hollywood. Her aunt is keeping secrets from Eva. What did she expect, though? This is Hollywood, and Eva's life is fit for the tabloids already.
LIFE AS A POSER, the first book in THE 310 series, is a fun page-turner with sometimes outrageous and always interesting characters that readers looking for a way to pass a rainy Saturday won't want to miss. It's an entertaining and fairly quick read, as well as a fun behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood! I've read quite a few books lately that are backstage passes to the lives of celebrities, and this is one of the better ones. Perhaps because Eva goes so quickly from being a normal high school student to Hollywood; perhaps because Beth Killian is just a great writer! Either way, readers won't want to miss the next book in THE 310 series, EVERYTHING SHE WANTS. -

Life as a Poser [extra credit]
I will put a book down right away if I cannot get into it. This book pulls you into the story right in the beginning. You can really relate to all of the girls in the book. From the bad to the good things the girls did, I'm sure we can all agree on some of the things they decide. I dont want to give the book away to those who havent read it yet. But I really enjoyed the book and I couldn't put it down!
